Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a deep exploration of Jonathan Swift's Irish writings across a collection of pamphlets. It begins with a study of what might be called Swift's campaigning Journalism, in the form of his intervention against the use of Irish manufacture, with his 'Modest Proposal'. The second half of the book consists of a series of powerful essays, which explore Irish misgovernment and include an excoriating attack on the degraded state of Irish society, 'A Short View of the State of Ireland.' The author contextualises Swift's relationship with the issues, exploring his biting and often satirical arguments against the English misrule of Ireland. The book concludes by asserting that Swift's writings remain powerful indictments against the shortcomings of those in positions of power, demonstrating the pernicious effect that tyranny and injustice can have on a people and their land. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
