The Age of George III Please note that this web site will soon move to a new location at http://www.historyhome.co.uk Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin in 1667. He was the son of an English-born lawyer; he grew up to be an Anglican clergyman, poet, satirist and political writer. Between 1691 and 99, he lived in Moor Park, Surrey, working as the secretary of the retired diplomat sir William Temple; however, Swift spent 1695-6 as vicar of Kilroot in County Antrim. In 1700 he became vicar of Laracor in County Meath. Politically, Swift began as a Whig ; he abandoned them because of their failure to uphold the established Church; in 1710 he accepted the patronage of the Tory Robert Harley. Swift wrote highly effective propaganda for Harley's administration (1710-14), especially against the continued war with France. As a result of this work, Swift was appointed Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin in 1713; he did not receive the English appointment for which he had hoped. When the Tories were forced from power with the accession of the House of Hanover in 1714, Swift was obliged to return to Ireland. Swift invariably defended the liberties of the Anglican minority in Ireland, insisting that they were 'Englishmen abroad'.

Dublin. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest satirists in the English language. Early Life and Works Since his father, an Englishman who had settled in Ireland, died before his birth and his mother deserted him for some time, Swift was dependent upon an uncle for his education. He was sent first to Kilkenny School and then to Trinity College, Dublin, where he managed, in spite of his rebellious behavior, to obtain a degree. In 1689 he became secretary to Sir William Temple at Moor Park, Surrey, where he formed his lifelong attachment to Esther Johnson, the “Stella” of his famous journal. Disappointed of church preferment in England, Swift returned to Ireland, where he was ordained an Anglican priest and in 1695 was given the small prebend of Kilroot. Unable to make a success in Ireland, Swift returned to Moor Park the following year, remaining until Temple's death in 1699. During this period he wrote

May you live all the days of your life. The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier. It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into. We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love, one another. Happiness is the perpetual possession of being well deceived. As blushing will sometimes make a whore pass for a virtuous woman, so modesty may make a fool seem a man of sense. A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying... that he is wiser today than yesterday. It is a maxim, that those to whom everybody allows the second place have an undoubted title to the first.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral 1714-1745 Welcome to the official Website for the Jonathan Swift Symposium Series at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin Ireland This series, held every October to commemorate the death of Swift, brings together an international community of scholars who have dedicated much of their work to the study of Swift, Ireland , and Eighteenth-Century Culture. Under the general direction of Professor Robert Mahony (Catholic University of America) and the current Dean of St. Patrick’s, The Very Reverend Dr. Robert MacCarthy, the seminar is dedicated each year to a central aspect of the life and work of Swift. Past seminars have included themes on Swift’s satire, his religion, and particular works. The seminar is not merely composed of residents of the ivory tower, however, as popular writers, parishioners of St. Patrick’s, and the general public routinely attend and participate in discussion, a phenomenon very much in the spirit of the man Dubliners call “The Dean.” The seminar complements a longstanding tradition at the Cathedral of commemorating the life and service of Jonathan Swift at Evensong on the Sunday closest to the date of his death.

JONATHAN SWIFT (1667-1745) Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World . By Lemuel Gulliver. London: Benjamin Motte, 1726. 4 volurnes in 2. Although it has achieved lasting fame as fiction, fable and children's book, Gulliver's Travels was a direct and bitter satire of the English court, political parties, religious dissensions, philosophies, men of science, historians and projectors of Swift's day. Swift, who was born in Dublin, served in England as secretary to Sir William Temple from 1689 to 1699 and returned to Ireland in 1714. He was involved in many political controversies, especially those relating to the treatment of the Irish by the English, and his satirical pamphlets were widely circulated, read, and influential. Alexander Pope and John Gay claimed that Gulliver's Travels was read "from the cabinet council to the nursery." Gift in Memory of Albert N. Raub, President of Delalware College 1888-1896

JONATHAN SWIFT Irish author (1667-1745) Biography: Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin in 1667. He had no father and his uncles decided to take charge of his education. After his university years in Dublin, he left Ireland and joint his mother in Leicester. He became William Temple's secretary, quite an important retired statesman and MP. Swift lived under his supervision for ten years. His job allowed him to attend theology courses and in 1694, he was named Prebent at Kilroot (near Belfast). But he soon comes back with Temple in Surrey, and it was there that he wrote The Battle of the Books and Tale of a Tub (1704), although they weren't published for several more years. After Temple's death, Swift goes back to Ireland. In 1701 Swift's career began in earnest by writing his first politic pamphlet, favouring the Whigs, and by anonymously publishing his treatise, Dissensions in Athens and Rome , which caused a stir. Over the next decade, Jonathan Swift published numerous essays and pamphlets, most of which were commentaries on politics and current events. During this time, he also served as the editor of the Whigs' publication, The Examiner He subsequently wrote many other pamphlets, treatises and poems. In November of 1726
