Autorenporträt
Jonathan Swift, born in 1667 in Dublin, was a master satirist and influential writer. Raised by relatives after his father's death, Swift attended Trinity College, Dublin, before moving to England, where he worked for Sir William Temple. His early experiences shaped his sharp political insights, leading him to become a prominent satirical voice of the 18th century.Swift's biting wit is best showcased in works like Gulliver's Travels and A Modest Proposal, where he used fiction and irony to critique politics, society, and human nature. His powerful satire and deadpan style, often termed ""Swiftian,"" had a profound influence on both literature and political thought.He spent much of his later life as Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, where he continued to write, criticize, and advocate for Irish causes. His works remain iconic, and Swift is celebrated as one of the greatest prose satirists in the English language¿.
