The Prose Works of Jonathan Swift, D.D, Vol. 7: Historical and Political Tracts Irish (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Prose Works of Jonathan Swift, D.D<br/><br/>The condition of Ireland as Swift found it in 1714, and as he had known of it even before that time, was of a kind to rouse a temper like his to quick and indignant expression. Even as early as the spring of 1716 we find him unable to restrain himself, and in his letter to Atterbury of April 18th we catch the spirit which, four years later, showed itself in The Proposal for the Universal Use of Irish Manufactures and the Drapier's Letters, and culminated in 1729 in the terrible Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People from being a Burthen to their Parents. To Atterbury he wrote.

The Prose Works of Jonathan Swift, D.D, Vol. 7 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a deep exploration of Jonathan Swift's Irish writings across a collection of pamphlets. It begins with a study of what might be called Swift's campaigning Journalism, in the form of his intervention against the use of Irish manufacture, with his 'Modest Proposal'. The second half of the book consists of a series of powerful essays, which explore Irish misgovernment and include an excoriating attack on the degraded state of Irish society, 'A Short View of the State of Ireland.' The author contextualises Swift's relationship with the issues, exploring his biting and often satirical arguments against the English misrule of Ireland. The book concludes by asserting that Swift's writings remain powerful indictments against the shortcomings of those in positions of power, demonstrating the pernicious effect that tyranny and injustice can have on a people and their land. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
