About Jonathan Swift
Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Irish author and satirist, best known for his masterpiece "Gulliver's Travels," a sharp critique of human nature and society disguised as a fantastical adventure. Educated at Trinity College Dublin, Swift became a prominent political and social commentator, using his writing to satirize the politics of his time, exemplified in works like "A Modest Proposal." His unique blend of wit, irony, and deep moral concern has established him as one of the foremost writers of the early 18th century.
