Very good cloth copy in a good if somewhat edge-nicked and dust-dulled dust wrapper, now mylar-sleeved. Remains quite well-preserved overall. Physical description: xix, 427 pages, 8 pages of plates: illustrations, portraits; 23 cm. Contents: The conjured spirit -- First fruits -- The life of a spider -- The Dean and the Drapier -- The isle of slaves. Summary: It is the aim of this biography to offer a new, comprehensive view of Swift and his writings. For years, biographies of the Dean were bedeviled by legends of his madness and by romantic mysteries surrounding his relationship. Post-war scholarship has swept all this away, and has provided a factual basis for a much clearer understanding of both his life and work. Dr. Nokes presents a portrait of Swift in his multifarious roles as satirist, politician, churchman, and friend. In particular, he seeks to re-establish a proper balance between Swift's public and private lives. Subjects: Swift, Jonathan 1667-1745. Swift, Jonathan 1667-1745; Biography. Church of Ireland Clergy; Biography. Church of Ireland. Authors, Irish 18th century; Biography. Satirists, Irish; Biography. Genre: Biography. Illustrated. 1 Kg.
