About this title

Synopsis

The Works Of Jonathan Swift.: With Copious Notes And Additions, And A Memoir Of The Author by Jonathan Swift. This volume presents a dense miscellany of Swiftian satirical verse and epigrams from the 1720s–1730s, centered on Irish politics, church–state corruption, literary feuds, and social mores. It gathers parodies, dialogues, epistles, ballads, riddles, and occasional prose written as verse, set in early 18th?century Dublin and Ireland with recurring venues like Parliament circles, Market Hill, and Drapier’s Hill. Targets include Swift himself, Sheridan, Hutchinson, bishops, printers, and political figures, alongside club scenes (Legion Club, Irish Club) and works such as “The Grand Question Debated” and “The Revolution at Market-Hill.” The collection foregrounds political critique, the Drapier coinage controversy, press satire, and meta?poetic exchanges, including extended verse duels with Sheridan. It also features mythic narratives (Cadenus and Vanessa), Stella poems, parodic pieces, and dramatic jests, framed by a combative yet witty tone that lampoons public life and fashion through verse, dialogue, and embedded portraits.
