Book Description
Swift is a shrewd and humorous observer of the changing artistic and cultural scene in both Ireland and England, and his views on these changes in public taste are an important, albeit neglected, part of his biography. His correspondence, especially his Journal to Stella, shows us someone very aware of the various arts and of their lively emergence from the enclosed world of the Puritan era. Many of Swift's friends and acquaintances were serious collectors of paintings, sculpture, coins, medals and Swift himself eventually enjoyed an interesting and revealing collection of artistic artifacts, as this study shows.

Swift's Rhetorical Art
Author: Martin Price
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
This classic study of the structure of Swift s works, first published by Yale University Press in 1953 and reissued by Archon Books in 1963, is here brought back into print in paperback form.Price s brilliant essay is concerned principally with structure as it serves to create meaning, but he deals with the large themes of Swift s major works and gives an overview of Swift s work as a whole. It thus provides a useful emphasis to an adequate reading of Swift and suggests new relations between his works and that of other periods."
