In response to the dire economic conditions in
eighteenth-century Ireland, A Modest Proposal
ironically exhorts the poor to provide their
offspring as food to the rich. Skilfully applying
a wealth of classical rhetorical techniques,
Swift8217s satirical tour de force takes a
savage swipe at the selfishness of the ruling
classes and the heartlessness of the various
utilitarian solutions put forward by contemporary
thinkers.In addition to this seminal piece, this
volume includes other humorous and polemical
writings 8211which, taken together, provide an
invaluable introduction to Swift as a master
satirist and pamphleteer.Contains 8216A Short
View of the State of Ireland8217, 8216A
Modest Proposal8217, 8216The Present State of
Ireland Considered8217 and 8216An Examination
