| Description: |
This study aims to trace Swift's literary career in the context of his life, his times and his intellectual background, thus providing the reader with an historical basis for his works. The emphasis is on factual information as opposed to critical analysis. |
| Synopsis: |
This biography emphasises the extraordinary versatility and resourcefulness of a lifetime spent serving the public interest with the pen. At the same time, it shows Swift's distinctive love of writing for personal entertainment and diversion, with little or no interest in publication. While remaining a fiercely committed writer, he always tried to preserve, especially in his poetry and letters, a literature dedicated to friendship. Swift's literary career comprises much more than the well-known satires. |
