About Jonathan Swift
Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) was an Irish satirist, essayist, and political pamphleteer, best known for his work "Gulliver's Travels," which cleverly critiques human nature and society. A central figure in the satirical literature of the 18th century, Swift's writing often reflected his deep concerns about politics and religion, particularly his opposition to the government and the Church of England. His sharp wit and keen observation of human folly have cemented his legacy as one of the foremost satirists in the English language.
