Description
Summary:	The book's focus is the major satires upon which Swift's literary reputation principally rests, including A Tale of a Tub , Gulliver's Travels , A Modest Proposal and the infamous scatological poems. Swift was the greatest prose satirist in the English language and this critical analysis highlights the extremism of Swiftian satire and its off-the-page menaces.
