Focusing mainly on works before 1714, and especially on A Tale of a Tub, this study explores Swift's writing primarily as parody. Robert Phiddian follows the constructions and deconstructions of textual authority through the texts on cultural-historical, biographical, and literary-theoretical levels. The historical interest lies in the occasions of the parodies: in their relations with the texts and discourses which they quote and distort, and in the way this process reflects on the generation of cultural authority in late Stuart England. The biographical interest lies in a new way of viewing Swift's early career as a potentially Whiggish intellectual. The theoretical and interpretative interest lies in tracing the play of language and irony through parody. 410 0$aCambridge studies in eighteenth-century English literature and thought ;$v26. 606 $aEnglish language$y18th century$xRhetoric 606 $aParodies$xHistory and criticism 606 $aParody 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric. 615 0$aParodies$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aParody. 676 $a828/.509 700 $aPhiddian$b Robert$01019983 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248126803316 996 $aSwift's parody$92408275 997 $aUNISA
