Cadenus And Vanessa (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169178168)

Cadenus and Vanessa is a satirical poem written by Jonathan Swift in the early 18th century. The poem tells the story of a young woman named Vanessa who falls in love with her tutor, a poet named Cadenus. As their relationship develops, Vanessa becomes increasingly enamored with Cadenus and begins to believe that they are destined to be together.However, Cadenus is hesitant to reciprocate Vanessa's feelings, as he is already in a committed relationship with another woman. Despite this, Vanessa persists in her pursuit of Cadenus, even going so far as to change her name to match his and writing him passionate love letters.Throughout the poem, Swift uses Vanessa's infatuation with Cadenus to satirize the societal norms and expectations surrounding courtship and relationships in 18th century England. He also explores themes of love, desire, and the power dynamics between men and women.Overall, Cadenus and Vanessa is a witty and thought-provoking work of literature that continues to be studied and analyzed by scholars and readers alike.Wisdom's Above Suspecting Wiles; The Queen Of Learning Gravely Smiles, Down From Olympus Comes With Joy, Mistakes Vanessa For A Boy; Then Sows Within Her Tender Mind Seeds Long Unknown To Womankind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
