Author Name:

Author Description Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish satirist, author, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for the Whigs, then for the Tories), poet, and Anglican cleric who became Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, hence his common sobriquet, "Dean Swift".<br />Swift is remembered for works such as A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal (1729). He is regarded by the Encyclopædia Britannica as the foremost prose satirist in the English language. He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms—such as <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1835777._Lemuel_Gulliver" title=" Lemuel Gulliver" rel="nofollow noopener"> Lemuel Gulliver</a>, Isaac Bickerstaff, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/28530361._M_B__Drapier" title=" M.B. Drapier" rel="nofollow noopener"> M.B. Drapier</a>—or anonymously. He was a master of two styles of satire, the Horatian and Juvenalian styles.<br />His deadpan, ironic writing style, particularly in A Modest Proposal, has led to such satire being subsequently termed "Swiftian".
