## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hilarious!
*by K***R on December 2, 2024*

Jonathan Swift was a satirical genius! His writing style is difficult to read, and it took me a while to parse his sentences and understand what he was trying to say, but it was hilarious once I got it! I originally bought this collection just for his "Modest Proposal" but I enjoyed all of the other works in this short collection as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Greatest Satire Ever? Probably.
*by A***D on March 1, 2013*

Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" is considered one of the greatest satirical works in the English language. Having recently taught this essay to two different groups of students, I can fully appreciate its varied approach to satire (Swift employs many devices, including irony, mock-heroic, and bathos).It's a quick read, but an essential one. This essay was written about the plight of the poor Irish trying to survive under the oppression of 18th Century England, an arrangement where England offered its protection, but in return seized their lands and dried up their resources. Still, Swift's jest points out a flaw that still exists today: the tendency for those who are comfortable to treat the poor like vermin or cattle instead of people.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting in the obscure sense
*by P***S on September 6, 2022*

Not as great as his famous Gulliver's Travels, but for those interested in his other writings a good snapshot.
