A Modest Proposal: A Modern Proposal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781493616435)

Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745) is a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin (B.A., 1686). He is also a graduate of Hart Hall, Oxford (M.A., 1692). His Doctor of Divinity was much later received, in 1702, after having returned to Trinity College. Swift, who in his lifetime served as a priest, politician, poet, and pamphleteer, is best known as the greatest satirist in the English language. With almost a thousand pages of poetry, and at least fourteen volumes of printed prose, his two greatest works, both satires and both known all over the world, are Gulliver's Travels, and the one reprinted here, "A Modest Proposal." ________________________________________ Abel Prudhomme is a graduate in Biblical Studies from Louisiana Baptist University.
