The Works of Dr. Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 10 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book provides an expert analysis of Jonathan Swift's Drapier's Letters, examining their historical significance and literary merit within the context of 18th-century Ireland. The Drapier's Letters were a series of open letters written by Swift using the pseudonym M.B. Drapier. Published in 1724, the letters were a response to the British government's attempt to introduce a new copper coinage into Ireland, which was widely seen as a debasement of the currency and a threat to the Irish economy. The author explores the effectiveness of Swift's use of satire and the impact of the Drapier's Letters on Irish politics and the development of Irish national identity. Ultimately, the book demonstrates the power of literature to bring about political change and its significance in shaping historical events.
