Adopted at more than 1,000 colleges and universities, Bedford/St. Martin's innovative Case Studies in Contemporary Criticism series has introduced more than a quarter of a million students to literary theory and earned enthusiastic praise nationwide. Along with an authoritative text of a major literary work, each volume presents critical essays, selected or prepared especially for students, that approach the work from several contemporary critical perspectives, such as gender criticism and cultural studies. Each essay is accompanied by an introduction (with bibliography) to the history, principles, and practice of its critical perspective. Every volume also surveys the biographical, historical, and critical contexts of the literary work and concludes with a glossary of critical terms. New editions reprint cultural documents that contextualize the literary works and feature essays that show how critical perspectives can be combined.

Jonathan Swift

Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745) a fost un scriitor, publicist, poet si autor de pamphlet-uri importante nascut in Irlanda. Swift a luat parte la agitatiile politice ale vremii, deoarece era angajat ca preot in cadrul Bisericii Anglia si, din acest motiv, a fost constient de nedreptatile din Irlanda. In anii 1700, Swift a locuit la Londra, dar pe parcursul vietii sale a locuit si mai mult in Irlanda. Din punct de vedere literar, Swift a fost recunoscut pentru romanul sau satiric "Gulliver's Travels" ("Calatoriile lui Gulliver"), precum si pentru satira sa "A Modest Proposal" ("O propunere modesta"). De asemenea, Swift a scris si alte lucrari importante cum ar fi: "The Battle of the Books" ("Bataia Cartilor"), "A Tale of a Tub" ("O poveste a unui butoi") si multe alte poezii. Swift a primit numeroase premii pe parcursul vietii sale, printre care Premiul pentru Literatura Pulitzer si Premiul pentru Literatura Nobel. Swift s-a dedicat in mod special studiului religios, motiv pentru care a scris numeroase carti despre aceasta tema, inclusiv: "Thoughts on Religion" ("Ganduri despre religie"), "The Virtue of True Religion" ("Virtutea adevaratei religii") si "The Mystery of Faith" ("Misterul credintei"). Swift si-a pus o influenta considerabila pe perioada vietii sale, in materie de scris, datorita satiricii sale politice si a poeziilor sale. Vezi toate cartile scrise de Jonathan Swift
