And as he tells the story the picture that emerges is not of a deranged maniac but of a complex, energetic and principled man of towering intellect and remarkable courage, plagued by physical and emotional problems but driven by a need to try and right the wrongs of the world, to alleviate suffering and to bring people to a right sense of themselves and their God.

Scott says that three peculiarities stamped his character as an author—originality—total indifference to literary fame or to the profits arising from his works—and the distinguished pitch of excellence which he attained in every style of composition he attempted: he might have added his entire absence of any feelings of literary jealousy.

    Introduction

    Cambridge University Press 0521802474 - The Cambridge Companion to Jonathan Swift Edited by Christopher Fox Excerpt More information CHRISTOPHER FOX Introduction “When a true Genius appears in the World,” Swift wrote, “you may know him by this infallible Sign; that the Dunces are all in Confederacy against him”(PW i: 242). He may well have been speaking about himself. After his death, his ghost was said to haunt the aisles of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, complaining that “The Pamphlets wrote against me, would have form’d a Library.”1 Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) lived a contentious life in a contentious age. The day Swift, an ordained Anglican priest, became Dean of St. Patrick’s in 1713, these lines of welcome were said to be posted on the Cathedral gate: Look down St. Patrick, look we pray, On thine own Church and Steeple, Convert thy Dean, on this great Day, Or else God help the People.2 Swift of course invited and sometimes even welcomed this response. He did so because he was first and foremost a political writer, and one who was not afraid to speak truth to power. As a political writer, Swift was a brilliant controversialist with an uncanny ability to become what he attacked and then burrow from within. During his lifetime, political writers were at a premium. Swift lived to see the emergence of the new two-party system in the wake of the so-called Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the explosion of print media after the lapse of the Licensing Act in 1695.
  • Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

    Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

    JONATHAN SWIFT (1667-1745) Ian Campbell Ross Jonathan Swift is most famous as the author of Gulliver’s Travels (1726), the most widely read book ever written in Ireland or by an Irish writer. Never out of print since its first publication, translated into countless languages, read in innumerable editions and abridgements, made into films and cartoons (one starring Mickey Mouse), and the subject of impassioned arguments over nearly three centuries as to its essential morality or misanthropy, Gulliver’s Travels is nonetheless only a small part of Jonathan Swift’s writings, in verse and prose, produced over a period of more than fifty years, during which he served as a priest of the Protestant Church of Ireland, most notably as Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin. Swift was born in Dublin in 1667. His father, a lawyer, died before Jonathan’s birth, and his childhood was partly spent in the care of a nurse and most likely in the absence of both parents. Certainly, he boarded at Kilkenny College between the ages of six and fourteen, receiving the foundations of the classical humanist education reserved for boys of his social class. In 1682, Swift entered what was then Ireland’s only university, Trinity College Dublin, continuing his studies in Latin and Greek, adding Hebrew, and deepening his knowledge of Aristotelian philosophy. After four years, he graduated with the degree of B.A. ex speciali gratia—a term that Swift later glossed to imply that he had been a poor student but which most likely did not have the negative connotations Swift would later mischievously suggest.

Armstrong hen Wheels and Butterflies was published by Macmillan in 1934, both the cover and the title page featured an image of three faces clustered together in a circular formation. This image was based Won theatrical masks made by the Dutch artist Hildo van Krop for The Only Jealousy of Emer and subsequently used in a Dublin production of Fighting the Waves (a dance play based on The Only Jealousy of Emer). The masks belong to the characters of the Woman of the Sidhe, Emer, and Cuchulain, and their juxtaposition on the cover reflects the complex love triangle inFighting the Waves.1 Set in intimate proximity, the three partially overlapping faces appear anguished and awkwardly, even forcibly intertwined. Although originally written and staged in 1930, The Words upon the Window-Pane was—like Fighting the Waves—one of the four plays included in the Wheels and Butterflies volume.

Factions' Fictions Ideological Closure in Swift's Satire Daniel Eilon ~ DElAWARE Newark: University of Delaware Press London and Toronto: Associated University Presses 122 PARTY mark of fanaticism. Swift described the succession of heresy after heresy and faction after faction of the Interregnum by way of allusion to the capricious builders of Babel, and the curse of dispersion inherited by Simeon and Levi,62 the men of violence: "Yet, clearly to shew what a Babel they had built, after twelve 5 years trial, and twenty several sorts of government; the nation, grown weary of their tyranny, was forced to call in the son of him whom those reformers had sacrificed. And thus were Simeon Book-Burning, Parsimony, Private Jokes, and Levi divided in Jacob, and scattered in Israel" (Sermons, and Antinomian Fiction Works, 9:226). Temporal and spatial isolationism are essentially similar; both contribute to the dissolution of the cursed Modern world. In this chapter we began by considering party, the contemporary target for Swift's satires and polemics against faction.
