Half-orphaned, a Dubliner by birth, but a man who would always insist he was English, Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was a figure of great contradictions. An essayist, political pamphleteer, poet, and cleric who became dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, Swift satirized the powerful but aspired to political greatness, mocked men's vanity but held himself in high esteem, and was a religious moralizer famed for his malice?a man sharply aware of humanity's flaws, but no less susceptible to them.At once a revealing biography of a life that encompasses writing on religion, class, sex, power, and poverty and a portrait of the foremost political writer of his day, Jonathan Swift draws a vivid and nuanced account of an extraordinary man and a turbulent period of history. 517 $aJonathan Swift 676 $a828.509 700 $aStubbs$b John$01438597 702 $aPerkins$b Derek$f1956-$4nrt 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910163267903321 996 $aJonathan Swift : The Reluctant Rebel$93600151 997 $aUNINA
