Swift's Rhetorical Art: A Study in Structure and Meaning (Yale Studies in English, Band 123) - Softcover

This classic study of the structure of Swift’s works, first published by Yale University Press in 1953 and reissued by Archon Books in 1963, is here brought back into print in paperback form.

Price’s brilliant essay is concerned prin­cipally with structure as it serves to create meaning, but he deals with the large themes of Swift’s major works and gives an overview of Swift’s work as a whole. It thus provides a useful emphasis to an adequate reading of Swift and suggests new relations between his works and that of other periods.
