This volume offers a feature section on Swift, a renowned author, but it also offers a section on the twenty~fifth anniversary of the publication of Poems on Affairs of State, a great nebula of sometimes witty, sometimes worrisome, sometimes worn~out AEolian eruptions from poetasters in every conceivable political "context." Time and again, this volume unveils the marginality, unfamiliarity, oddity, and ephemerality embedded in even the most canonical texts. Dean Swift exposes the underexamined world of Irish studies; Hogarth combs the ends of the earth for incongruous imagery; squat little Pope reaches beyond the reach of art, into a world of sublimity. Former Louisiana Governor and Senator Huey Long proclaimed "every man a king," and so this volume declares every major book a broadside or pamphlet in disguise~an ephemeral, irregular outburst, albeit one carried to great length. The profusion of eccentric, exceptional, and obscure materials that "major" Augustan authors quote, exploit, plagiarize, absorb, transfigure, or otherwise reprocess draws them all far beyond the margins of not only discourse, but of astronomy, anthropology, theology, philosophy, sociology and zoology~beyond everything that, prior to the eighteenth century, eye had seen or ear had heard. That mythical impartial visitor from outer space, were he~she~or~it plopped down in an eighteenth~century studies library and presented with all the available jottings from our period, would probably judge Richardson or Goldsmith or Johnson as even more bizarre than any of their more marginal colleagues, and certainly as more proficient at the pose of exceptionality. This volume marks another first in the history of 1650~1850: not just one, but two special features. The first of the two features, under the able editorship of James Thorson, congregates essays from the next generation of Swift scholars, from young blades honed on the wisdom of Ehrenpreis (and his apostles) but whetted and sharpened in a later day. Covering everything from the confrontation with filth to the expansivity of the New Science, Thorson's lively young neo~Scriblerians prove that a later age need not be a leaden one. His post~postmodern interpreters of Swift are to the golden age of Swift studies what Einsteinium is to a natural metal. The second special feature, edited by D. N. DeLuna, calls together essays from the most prestigious scholars of Restoration literature by way of celebrating the "silver~plus~ten" anniversary of the publication of the Yale edition of Poems on Affairs Of State, one of the most cited (and most entertaining) collections ever to glide down the scholarly bookshelf. The two special features together virtually define the Augustan universe, with the surly but engaging Swift using moral imperatives to represent deviance and with the political ditties of Poems on Affairs Of State bantering in comic ways about serious metaphysical and political ideas.
