Behind Gulliver's fantastical voyages stood a fierce moral intelligence. In The Works Of The Rev. Jonathan Swift, D.D., Dean Of St. Patricks, Dublin, Volume XII, that voice turns from imaginary islands to the conflicts, beliefs and absurdities of 18th century Ireland and the wider Georgian world. His irony still cuts deep. Here Swift's classic literary satire sharpens itself on real politics, real pulpits and real people, blending Irish political satire with eighteenth century social critique and his unflinching vision of church and state. This carefully arranged part of the complete works of Jonathan Swift, edited with historical and critical notes by Thomas Sheridan, gathers collected essays and sermons, trenchant religion and society essays and other prose that confront power, hypocrisy and human vanity. As a historical literature anthology within Georgian era literature, it gives a close view of Swift the dean and Swift the dissenter, speaking from Dublin to concerns that remain recognisable today. Ideal for classic literature students and teachers seeking primary texts, and for satire lovers collection and fans of Gulliver's Travels looking beyond the famous voyages, this volume suits study, reflection or slow, savoury reading for anyone drawn to sharp humour and serious ideas. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
