| description | This article focuses on Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest
Proposal” and other of his writings that were prompted by the
unsustainable socio-economic and geo-political conditions under which the poor
native Irish were living. The article begins with introductory comments and then
moves to conditions in Ireland when Swift was writing that contributed to his
strong concern for the native poor. Next is provided a summary of “A
Modest Proposal” and consideration of what drove Swift to the extreme
he reached in the essay. Following this, Swift’s writings are
explored as indicators of his opinion of political arithmeticians, and
conclusions close the paper. |
