Jonathan Swift (30 November 1667 – 19 October 1745) was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for the Whigs, then for the Tories), poet and cleric who became Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. He is remembered for works such as Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal, A Journal to Stella, Drapier's Letters, The Battle of the Books, An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity, and A Tale of a Tub. Swift is regarded by the Encyclopaedia Britannica as the foremost prose satirist in the English language,  and is less well known for his poetry. Swift originally published all of his works under pseudonyms – such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, MB Drapier – or anonymously. He is also known for being a master of two styles of satire: the Horatian and Juvenalian styles. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks for your interest! *****THIS  ITEM IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR INTERNATIONAL  SHIPPING**** WINNER OF MULTIPLE ITEMS – before payment, wait until I email you with the true shipping costs.  If you jump the gun to pay before I recalculate shipping costs for you it WILL DELAY your shipment!
