Издание из серии "Oxford World's Classics". Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) was born in Dublin, where he was educated at Trinity College, and in 1713 became Dean of St Patrick’s Cathedral. While previously living in London, he had made friends with Pope, Gay, and Arbuthnot, formed with them the Scriblerus Club, and written propaganda for the Tory administration of another club member, Robert Harley. He had first made his mark as a satirist with A Tale of a Tub and The Battle of the Books (1704), and after his return to Dublin (1714) he used his genius for polemical satire to defend Ireland (i.e. Anglo-Irish Protestants) against exploitation by the English Whigs, most sensationally in A Modest Proposal (1729). Gulliver’s Travels is also a powerful political satire. Written when Swift was nearly 60, and first published in 1726, it at once became, quite literally, one of the world’s classics. Claude Rawson is the Maynard Mack Professor of English at Yale University. He is author of a wide range of books, including Henry Fielding and the Augustan Ideal under Stress (1972), Gulliver and the Gentle Reader (1973), Satire and Sentiment, 1660–1830: Stress Points in the English Augustan Tradition (1994, corrected paperback edition 2000), and, most recently, God, Gulliver, and Genocide: Barbarism and the European Imagination, 1492–1945 (Oxford University Press, 2001). Both he and Ian Higgins are General Editors of the Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jonathan Swift. Ian Higgins is a Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the Australian National University. He works on British and Irish literature, especially of the early eighteenth century. He is the author of Swift’s Politics: A Study in Disaffection (1994) and Jonathan Swift, Writers and their Work (2004), and of several articles on Swift and his contexts.
