# Jonathan Swift

> He sent tiny people and floating islands into the English canon, then turned his pen colder: a deadpan essay proposing the Irish eat their own children. Swift wrote satire so sharp it coined an adjective.

## Bio

Jonathan Swift was born 30 November 1667, an Anglo-Irish cleric who hid behind pseudonyms - Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M. B. Drapier - to publish everything he wrote. In 1704 he released A Tale of a Tub, then An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity in 1708, mastering both Horatian and Juvenalian modes. He was appointed dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin in 1713. In 1726 came Gulliver's Travels, the novel that built Lilliput and became the most printed book by an Irish writer ever. Three years later A Modest Proposal landed with its infamous deadpan cruelty, spawning the term "Swiftian." He died 19 October 1745, leaving a body of work that shaped Ruskin, Orwell, and the mechanics of irony itself.
