Download or read book Jonathan Swift Routledge Revivals written by Alan Downie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1984, this biography gives an account of Jonathan Swift’s political ideas and provides a critical commentary on his major works. With its emphasis on Swift as a political writer, the title offers a revision of the prevailing view of Swift’s politics and its application in the study of his works. Alan Downie argues that in terms of the party politics of the day Swift is neither a Whig nor Tory. Swift thought of himself as an ‘Old Whig’, and said he was ‘of the old Whig principles, without the modern articles and refinements’. Downie shows how Swift’s writings consistently make political points about society’s deviation from an ideal. As Swift’s views on morality, religion and politics are so closely linked, an understanding of his political ideas is vital; this reissue provides a detailed analysis of this aspect of Swift’s writings and views, and as such will be of great interest to any students researching his satire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book bridges disciplines-24 journals in literature, history, science, medicine, philosophy, religion and Ireland have acclaimed this classic fascinating, extraordinarily well-informed, careful and encyclopedic. "Craven reminds us of Swift's uncanny foreknowledge that democratic governments tend toward a populace inundated by false information it cannot process, and leaders intent only upon power and the deceptions by which it is gained."-Melvyn New "This new edition situates Swift's early masterpiece in its most resonant possible context - its savage critique of John Locke, whose life and philosophical work simultaneously served to legitimate government by popular sovereignty and to countenance colonial violence and slavery."-Clement Hawes
Download or read book Routledge Revivals Gulliver and the Gentle Reader 1991 written by C. J. Rawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1973, Gulliver and the Gentle Reader critically examines the writing of Jonathan Swift. The book is predominately concerned with what Rawson coins 'the "unofficial" energies' which work below the surface of Swift's conscious themes. Alongside this discussion, Rawson provides detailed studies on historical, cultural and psychological relationships, and the connections that exist between these areas and more extreme writers of the later period such as Breton, Mailer, and Yeats, as well as the connections with the writers such as his contemporary Pope, and those that followed such as Johnson, and Sterne. This book will be of interest to students of literature, as well as those researching in the area of literature.
