Johnson's Life of Swift (1894) is a biography of the famous Irish writer and satirist, Jonathan Swift, written by F. Ryland. The book provides a detailed account of Swift's life, from his early years in Dublin to his later years as Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in the same city. The author explores Swift's literary achievements, including his most famous works such as Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal, and The Battle of the Books. The book also delves into Swift's personal life, including his relationships with women, his mental health struggles, and his political views. Ryland's biography draws heavily on the writings of Samuel Johnson, who was a close friend of Swift and wrote extensively about him. Overall, Johnson's Life of Swift offers a comprehensive and engaging portrait of one of the most important writers of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
