Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Swift: The Mystery of His Life and Love No life in the whole range of literature is so difficult to unravel as that of Jonathan Swift, nor has any man been more unfortunate in his interpreters. Indeed, it may be truthfully said of him that he is the best abused and most maligned in the literary world. Some of his biographers have been revilers, like Lord Orrery; others have been prejudiced, like Johnson; some have been incapable, like Hawkesi worth; others have been dull, like Sheridan; some have been inaccurate, like Sir Walter Scott, for want of time; and others have been absurd, like Deane Swift, Esq., for want of judgment; while others have been malignant, like Winder, and have tried to blacken his character, who were not fit to blacken his shoes.
