	A Swiftian Rant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		OK, our Kiwi Moonbat friend Maia at Capitalism Bad; Tree Pretty has taken up the casue of a 20 year old college student in NZ who gave birth to a baby, wrapped it in plastic, killed it and hid it in a campus garden.
		Just like there are two sides to every 45rpm record (you remember records don’t you), there are two sides to every story.

	Jonathan Swift
		Swift says that Esther Johnson[?] was born on March 18, 1681 - she was later known as Stella and would later figure largely in Swift's life.
		Swift was politically active between 1707 and 1710, successfully petitioning the English government on behalf of the Irish bishops for the surrender by the Crown of the First-Fruits and Twentieths, which brought in about 2500 pounds a year.
		Swift was back again in the political strife in London in September, taking Oxford's part in the quarrel between that statesman and Bolingbroke.

	Jonathan Swift
		Deane Swift, when he published it in 1755, said that it was written `about six or eight and twenty years ago', that is, between 1727 and 1729.
		In this fragment of autobiography Swift says that when he was a year old his nurse stole him away from his widowed mother and his uncle, and from Dublin, where he was born, and took him over the sea to her home town of Whitehaven.
		Swift was to describe Gulliver, a finger-sized manikin among the giant Brobdingnagians, being parted from his giant nurse-girl, wafted in his carrying-box over the sea by an eagle, and dropped into the water to float on till he was rescued.

	Inscrutable Even to Himself
		Swift ''rarely indicates with any reliability what he might consider 'the truth' on any issue,'' Victoria Glendinning observes in her new biography.
		Swift's long career as a satirist left him with a great many enemies, but, ironically, his posthumous reputation was to suffer most from friendly fire.
		Swift had known Stella since she was 8 and he the newly arrived 22-year-old private secretary to Sir William Temple.

	Dean Swift And The Two Esthers
		Varina played no important part in Swift's larger life thereafter; but something must be said of this affair in order to show, first of all, that Swift's love for her was due only to proximity, and that when he ceased to feel it he could be not only hard, but harsh.
		Swift did not in any sense make love to her, though he gave her the somewhat fanciful name of "Vanessa"; but she, driven on by a high-strung, unbridled temperament, made open love to him.
		Swift felt that he lived in constant danger of some sudden stroke that would deprive him either of life or reason; and his ultimate insanity makes it appear that his forebodings were not wholly futile.

	Swift
		Jonathan Swift was one of the world's greatest satirists with works in both verse and prose.
		The object of most of Swift's satire was political, usually in the form of an institution or a system, but sometimes in the form of an individual who typifies some corrupt institution or political interest.

	Jonathan Swift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Swift is probably the foremost prose satirist in the English language, although he is less well known for his poetry.
		Swift was studying for his Masters when political troubles in Ireland surrounding the Glorious Revolution forced him to leave for England in 1688, where his mother helped him get a position as secretary and personal assistant of Sir William Temple at Moor Park.
		Swift was part of the inner circle of the Tory government and often acted as mediator between Henry St. John (Viscount Bolingbroke) the secretary of state for foreign affairs (1710-15) and Robert Harley (Earl of Oxford) lord treasurer and prime minister (1711-4).

	DEAN SWIFT AND THE TWO ESTHERS
		Swift charges her with being cold, affected, and willing to flirt with persons who are quite beneath her.
		When Swift writes "oo" for "you," and "deelest" for "dearest," and "vely" for "very," there is no need of an interpreter; but "rettle" for "let ter," "dallars" for "girls," and "givar" for "devil," are at first rather difficult to guess.
		Vanessa was now told that Swift was married to the other woman, or that she was his mistress.

	O'Regan, 2006
		Swift might not be entirely displeased - his belief that this represented some form of just recompense for the many years that King succeeded in frustrating his advancement, overriding his grudging admiration of the Archbishop's own abilities.
		Swift, as Fauske has observed: "was a man firmly committed to what he saw as the best interests of his church, which he understood to have little to do with God and everything to do with a socio-political compact"(3).
		Swift, however, understood the real power of the author and was more aware of the possibilities with which his skill and ability endowed him.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Jonathan Swift
		Before Swift was a year old, he was taken to England by his nurse, and remained apart from his mother for three years.
		Swift's first significant publication was “An Ode to the Athenian Society” in 1692, the year in which he took an M.A. from Hart Hall, Oxford, in the hope of advancing his career.
		Feeling somewhat cramped in Temple's service, Swift left in 1694 to be ordained deacon in the protestant Church of Ireland; on 13 January 1695 he was appointed prebend of Kilroot, a desperately run-down church near Belfast.

	Herman: Dean and Dissenters
		Swift, I believe, like the good public relations man (or spin doctor) that he was, always had an eye on the impression that his writing would make.
		I will suggest therefore, that when we look at Swift's attitude to Dissenters, particularly as 'published' through his pamphlets and journalism, it displays a distinct sensibility to the nuances of hardening Tory attitudes, even before he was designated such and certainly before he was a party writer.
		While Swift's language is strong, either in its (albeit jovial) satire or its invective, and while we can see the firm foundations of the hostility embedded in the politics of this period, Swift's texts still fall short of the anger with which Tories attacked just a few years later.

	SWIFT, Jonathan Dean

		Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin in 1667.
		During this period he managed to secure for the Irish clergy remission of certain taxes on their incomes, originally due to Rome, but which from the time of the reformation had been retained by the crown.
		As dean, Swift proved himself to be most conscientious both in his religious duties and also as custodian of the building.

	Jonathan Swift - Thackery's ENGLISH HUMOURISTS
		Swift's seems to me to be as good a name to point a moral or adorn a tale of ambition, as any hero's that ever lived and failed.
		Swift's eyes were as azure as the heavens; Pope says nobly (as everything Pope said and thought of his friend was good and noble), "His eyes are as azure as the heavens, and have a charming archness in them." And one person in that household, that pompous, stately, kindly Moor Park, saw heaven nowhere else.
		In the famous Lilliputian kingdom, Swift speaks with approval of the practice of instantly removing children from their parents and educating them by the State; and amongst his favourite horses, a pair of foals are stated to be the very utmost a well-regulated equine couple would permit themselves.

	October 19th
		Having accompanied Lord Berkeley to Ireland in 1699, as his chaplain, Swift was presented by him to the rectory of Agher and the vicarages of Rathbeggan and Laracor, in the diocese of Meath.
		Here Swift used frequently to visit her; and our opinion of his character is by no means heightened, when we know that at the very time when the was indulging in the language of love and affection towards Miss Vanhomrigh, he was himself bound to another by the irrevocable tie of marriage.
		It may be remarked on this subject, that however fond Swift might be of a joke where the weight of sarcasm rested on the shoulders of another, he had little relish for it when any of the shafts of ridicule rebounded against himself.

	Dean Swift
		It is not a pleasant task, for Swift was an unclean spirit but he fascinates and makes the reader long to peep behind the veil, and penetrate the secret of this horrible, yet lovable, because beloved, man. Mr.
		Dean, soon recognised that her friend was not a marrying man, and was, there-fore, well content for the rest of her days to share his society with Mrs.
		Vanessa was an ill-regulated damsel, who had not the wit to see that her lover was not a marrying man, and, in the most vulgar fashion possible, thrust herself most inconveniently upon his notice, received a snubbing, took to drink, and died of the spleen.

		Henceforth Swift was to be exiled to the backwater of Ireland.
		Swift was a generous man, a third of his income went to charity, another third went to establish a foundation for the insane - St Patrick's Hospital for Imbeciles (opened 1757).

		But Swift was by no means all bad, and his great services to Ireland are still deservedly recognized by that devoted people.
		It is said that one day, when traveling in the south of Ireland, he stopped to give his horse water at a brook which crossed the road; a gentleman of the neighborhood halted for the same purpose, and saluted him, a courtesy which was politely returned.
		Though the dean was habitually secretive in what he did, he had some reason for not wishing to say in public that he had written so bitter a satire on the government and on mankind.

	Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swfit - Quotations about Swift
		"Dr. Swift had a natural severity of face, which even his smiles could scarce soften, or his utmost gaiety render placid and serene; but when that sternness of visage was increased by rage, it is scarce possible to imagine looks or features that carried in them more terror and austerity.
		Swift has told what he had to tell distinctly enough, but that is all.
		For Swift had himself enough pettiness, as well as enough sin of pride, and lust of domination, to be able to expose and condemn mankind in its universal pettiness and pride and vanity and ambition; and his poetry, as well as his prose, attests that he hated the very smell of the human animal.

		This is one of the reasons that his critics pay so much attention to his biography, the established facts and the many disputed items, as a means of elucidating the true meaning of his writings.
		However, the final words on the topic belong to Swift in his Battle of the Books (1697) in which he makes a humorous defense on behalf of Temple and the cause of the Ancients.
		Swift's first major prose play, A Tale of a Tub, demonstrates many of the themes and stylistic techniques he would employ in his later work.
