Jonathan Swift
-
Swift (1667–1745) was born and educated in Dublin (see St Patrick’s Cathedral) and established a reputation as a wit through his satirical works. A Modest Proposal (1729), one of his most brilliant – if grim – satires, suggested feeding poor children to the rich. It is ironic that his work, Gulliver’s Travels (1726), is a children’s classic.
