Step inside the mind of Jonathan Swift as preacher, polemicist and ironist at the height of his powers. Here the author of Gulliver's Travels turns his gaze from islands to the pulpits and parliaments of his world, exposing hypocrisy with a voice that is both clerical and combustible. His wit still draws blood. Volume IX of The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D.D., Dean of St. Patricks, Dublin gathers classic satirical essays and other prose that move between the vestry and the streets, between church and clergy life and the currents of Irish and English politics; the voice known from his collected sermons and essays is unmistakable here. Arranged by Swift's contemporary Thomas Sheridan and enriched with historical and critical notes, this annotated literary collection reveals how the Dean of eighteenth century Dublin forged political and social satire from sermons, pamphlets and public quarrels. It speaks directly to students and general readers alike: for classic literature students seeking context, for satire lovers collection curators, and for gullivers travels readers wanting to explore the deeper, sharper Jonathan Swift collected works beyond the famous voyage. As a cornerstone of anglo-irish literature classic tradition and a vivid portrait of church and state in Irish and English politics, it illuminates both the inner life of a clergyman and the outer storms of his age. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
