Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer, and cleric best known for his biting satires — notably Gulliver's Travels (1726) and "A Modest Proposal" (1729). He served as Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin and wrote extensively on social, political, and religious issues of his time, using irony and parody to critique power and human folly.
