Jonathan Swift, an influential Anglo-Irish satirist and cleric, is celebrated for his sharp wit and incisive commentary on society and politics. Known for major works like "Gulliver's Travels" and "A Modest Proposal," he adeptly employed pseudonyms and anonymous publication to enhance his critiques. His mastery of both Horatian and Juvenalian satire positions him as a pivotal figure in English literature, particularly in prose. While primarily recognized for his satirical prowess, Swift's contributions to poetry also warrant attention.
