Jonathan Swift was een meester in de Anglo-Ierse satire, wiens werken de menselijke natuur onderzoeken met scherpe humor en intellectuele diepgang. Hij wordt gevierd als de voornaamste prozasatiricus in de Engelse taal, die meesterlijk stijlen hanteerde, variërend van het Horatiaanse tot het Juvenalische. Zijn essays en pamfletten, vaak onder pseudoniemen gepubliceerd, boden bijtende commentaren op de politieke en maatschappelijke kwesties van zijn tijd. Swifts vermogen om humor te gebruiken om absurditeiten en hypocrisie te ontmaskeren, maakt hem tot een tijdloze en essentiële auteur voor lezers die op zoek zijn naar inzichtelijke commentaren op de menselijke conditie.
