About the Author

Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) was born in Dublin. In 1692, Swift published his first work, a poem called “Ode to the Athenian Society.” Later, in the early 1700s, Swift became active in London politics. Although Swift published many works, he is best known for Gulliver’s Travels and the satirical pamphlet “A Modest Proposal.”
