	A Tale of a Tub - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Tale of a Tub was the first major work written by Jonathan Swift, having been composed between 1694 and 1697 and published in 1704.
		The Tale is a prose parody which is divided up into sections of "digression" and "tale." The "tale" presents a consistent satire of religious excess, while the digressions are a series of parodies of contemporary writing in literature, politics, theology, Biblical exegesis, and medicine.
		A Tale of a Tub is divided between various forms of digression and sections of a "tale." The "tale," or narrative, is an allegory that concerns the adventures of three brothers, Peter, Martin, and Jack, as they attempt to make their way in the world.

	Tale of a Tub Essays - The Loss of the Ideal in A Tale of a Tub
		A Tale of a Tub is a mass of text seemingly thrown together with the purpose of deliberately confusing the reader, but its digressions upon digressions cannot mask the inevitable theme of loss, which is ultimately found in all of Swift's works.
		The main grievances of A Tale of a Tub is not only the fact that society is so separated from the origins of these subjects, but that it tries to earn the virtues they promise through a modern method rather than imitating the circumstances in which they were created.
		Supposedly, the main subject of the Tale is the history of three primary branches of Christianity: Catholicism, as represented by Peter; the Church of England, represented by Martyn; and the Dissenters, as shown through Jack.

	Lynch, "Preventing Play"
		Swift therefore responded to Wotton's presumptuous 1705 apparatus on the Tale of a Tub with a withering attack on all apparatus, and his satirical instinct led him to the master-stroke of making the attack in the very form of an apparatus.
		A Tale of a Tub ridicules marginalia, the footnote, the pamphlet, the lexicon, the index, the preface, the appendix, even the use of typography -- each of these is at least ridiculed, and most are travestied.
		But the Tale of a Tub and the Dunciad survived the enemy encroachment where so many works have been forgotten, and they save the battle of the books from becoming a mere footnote to intellectual history.
