Summary:
The political dilemma of Ireland; the state of faith in England; the
charms of the "Beggar's Opera"; the importance of puns...This
selection gathers together some of Swift's most brilliant prose, from
high politics to social gossip, from savage tirades to lighthearted
social satire. In addition to his classic essays, the collection
includes several of Swift's letters to Alexander Pope and other great
thinkers of the age.
