What is Swift and Others about?

Jonathan Swift's Influence On The Writings And Politics Of England And Ireland Was Reinforced By A Combination Of Contradictory Forces: An Authoritarian Attachment To Tradition And Rule, And A Vivid Responsiveness To The Disorders Of A Modernity He Resisted And Yet Helped To Create. He Was, Perhaps Even More Than Pope, A Dominant Voice Of His Times. The Rich Variety Of The Literary Culture To Which He Belonged Shows The Penetration Of His Ideas, Personality And Style. This Is True Of Writers Who Were His Friends And Admirers (pope), Of Adversaries (mandeville, Johnson), Of Several Who Became Great Ironists In His Shadow (gibbon, Austen), And Of Some Surprising Examples Of Swiftian Afterlife (chatterton).
