Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This fascinating addition to the writings of the renowned Jonathan Swift features a collection of satirical works that offer a unique lens into the political climate and social issues of early 18th-century England. Through a series of letters, essays, and speeches, the author skewers the Whig party's principles and exposes the hypocrisy and ambition he saw within their ranks. At the heart of Swift's critique is the belief that the Whigs' claims to support peace and religious tolerance were merely a ruse to gain power. Behind this façade, he argues, lurked a desire for personal advancement at the expense of the nation. Included in this volume is the infamous "Modest Proposal," a satirical essay that takes aim at the widespread poverty and exploitation of the Irish people. Swift's writings offer a powerful and often hilarious commentary on the complexities of power, religion, and society in his time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
