The Works of the Rev. Dr. Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 3 of 17: Arranged, Revised, and Corrected, With Notes (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book from the 18th century analyzes the political writings of a prolific "Whiggish" and "Fanatical" author of the period (Daniel Defoe), particularly his Review. The author describes and interprets the main themes underpinning Defoe's political commentary, which included the role of Providence in history, the nature of political authority, and the threat posed by Jacobitism to English society and its Protestant monarchy. The author suggests that Defoe's writings in the Review aimed to bridge political and religious differences in a time of heightened tensions and provided an optimistic vision of the future of the English nation.
