Meet the author
Widely regarded as the foremost prose satirist in the English language, Jonathan Swift 1667-1745 was an Anglo-Irish cleric, political pamphleteer, and poet based in Dublin. His sharp wit and incisive social commentary were born from a deep frustration with political corruption and human folly, which he channeled into enduring works like Gulliver's Travels and A Modest Proposal. Swift's mastery of irony and allegory has cemented his legacy as a fearless critic of his time and a timeless voice on morality and reason.
