          Anglo-Irish satirist and cleric (1667–1745)

          For other uses, see Jonathan Swift (disambiguation).

          Jonathan Swift (30 November 1667 – 19 October 1745) was an Anglo-Irish[1] writer who became Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin,[2] hence his common sobriquet, "Dean Swift".

          His deadpan, ironic writing style, particularly in A Modest Proposal, has led to such satire being subsequently termed "Swiftian".[3]

          Swift is remembered for works such as A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal (1729).

          He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms—including Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M. B. Drapier—or anonymously. He was a master of two styles of satire, the Horatian and Juvenalian styles. He is regarded by the Encyclopædia Britannica as the "foremost prose satirist in the English language."[1]
