The Bickerstaff-Partridge Papers

Meer over het boek

The Bickerstaff-Partridge Papers is a satirical collection crafted by Jonathan Swift, who, under the pseudonym Isaac Bickerstaff, humorously predicted the demise of a well-known 18th-century astrologer. Originally published as letters and prose, this work was released to coincide with April Fools' Day and serves as a clever act of revenge against one of Swift's adversaries. Through wit and irony, it reflects the author's sharp commentary on astrology and societal norms of the time.
