British, North American, and Australian scholars of literature discuss such aspects as A Tale of a Tub, himself, gender and class, and Ireland. Distributed in the US by Associated University Presses.

First edition. 310 pages with index. Illustrated. Cloth. Fine in like dustjacket. These thirteen essays offer not only the "representations of Swift" to which its title refers but also a representation of Swift scholarship at the close of the twentieth century and a return to fundamental questions about the life, writing, and views of Swift, issues raised in part by literary scholarship's return to historicism but also powerfully suggestive of a return to biography.
