Abstract
Jonathan Swift remains the most important and influential satirist in the English language. The author of Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal, and A Tale of a Tub, in addition to vast numbers of political pamphlets, satirical verses, sermons, and other kinds of text, Swift is one of the most versatile writers in the literary canon. His writings were always closely intertwined with the English and Irish worlds in which he lived. The forty-four essays collected in Jonathan Swift in Context advance the latest research on Swift in a way that will engage undergraduate students while also remaining useful for scholars. Reflecting the best of current and ongoing scholarship, the contextual approach advanced by this volume will help to make Swift's works even more powerful and resonant to modern audiences.
Includes forty-four essays written by leading scholars, presenting a broad overview of the latest research in the field
Written in clear and engaging style, making the latest Swift research accessible to student readers without specialist knowledge
Each chapter focuses closely on a key theme or topic, with women writers, race, and colonialism given dedicated space alongside an array of other subjects
