Who is Jonathan Swift?
Jonathan Swift, who was born in London on 30 November 1667 and died in Dublin on 19 October 1745, was a satirist, author, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for the Whigs, then for the Tories), poet, and Anglican cleric. He also served as dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, earning him the moniker "Dean Swift."
A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against the Elimination of Christianity (1712), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal are among the works by Swift that are most renowned (1729). He is acknowledged as the English language's best prose humorist by the Encyclopedia Britannica, while his poetry is less widely known. Horatian and Juvenalian satire were two forms of humour he was a master at.
His satire has come to be known as "Swiftian" due to his deadpan, sardonic writing style, especially in A Modest Proposal.
