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.
