Jonathan Swift (MCV) (Bloom's Modern Critical Views)
Book Description
Bloom asserts that Jonathan Swift has proven to be the most savage and merciless satirist and ironist in the history of Western literature. Swift attacks 18thcentury institutional abuses of religion, politics, science, war, and commerce in brilliant works such as Gulliver's Travels, A Tale of a Tub, and A Modest Proposal. His criticisms of man often provoke accusations of misanthropy.
