Hardback. Zustand: Good. There has long been a need for an accessible, comprehensive--and affordable--single-volume life of Swift. This thoughtful, judicious biography promises to fill that need for our generation. Few author's reputations have fluctuated as wildly as Jonathan Swift's. From the beginning, critics and biographers… divided into two camps--one hailing a champion of liberty, the other reviling a sadistic misanthrope. For years, moreover, an understanding of Swift's life was clouded by legends of his madness and mysteries surrounding his romantic attachments. Modern scholarship had swept all of this away, however, giving us a much sounder factual basis for comprehending the man's life and work. David Nokes portrays the author of Gulliver's Travels in his multifarious roles as satirist, politician, churchman, and friend. Combining the latest findings of Swiftian scholarship with an astute critical eye, he restores a proper balance between the specialist critics who have overemphasized specific themes or genres in Swift's work and the generalist critics who have missed many of the particularities of Swift's ironies. In so doing, Nokes gives us a biography very much in the spirit Swift himself endorsed: 'a conservative humanism which saw specialisation as a first dangerous step towards that distorted simplification of complex human phenomena which characterized the views of all factions and fanatics.' About the Author: David Nokes is Lecturer in English at King's College, the University of London. 427 pages.

1st Edition. Very good cloth copy in a good if somewhat edge-nicked and dust-dulled dust wrapper, now mylar-sleeved. Remains quite well-preserved overall. Physical description: xix, 427 pages, 8 pages of plates: illustrations, portraits; 23 cm. Contents: The conjured spirit -- First fruits -- The life of a spider -- The Dean and… the Drapier -- The isle of slaves. Summary: It is the aim of this biography to offer a new, comprehensive view of Swift and his writings. For years, biographies of the Dean were bedeviled by legends of his madness and by romantic mysteries surrounding his relationship. Post-war scholarship has swept all this away, and has provided a factual basis for a much clearer understanding of both his life and work. Dr. Nokes presents a portrait of Swift in his multifarious roles as satirist, politician, churchman, and friend. In particular, he seeks to re-establish a proper balance between Swift's public and private lives. Subjects: Swift, Jonathan 1667-1745. Swift, Jonathan 1667-1745; Biography. Church of Ireland Clergy; Biography. Church of Ireland. Authors, Irish 18th century; Biography. Satirists, Irish; Biography. Genre: Biography. Illustrated. 3 Kg.

Hardcover with dust jacket. Zustand: Sehr gut. XIX, 427 p. Lediglich der Schutzumschlag ist leicht berieben, sonst ein sehr gutes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / Only the dust jacket is slightly rubbed, otherwise a very good copy without annotations. - It is the aim of this biography to offer a new, comprehensive view of Swift an…d his writings. For years, biographies of the Dean were bedevilled by legends of his madness and by romantic mysteries surrounding his relationship with Stella and Vanessa. Post-war scholarship, however, has swept all this away, and has provided a factual basis for a much clearer understanding of both his life and work. Dr Nokes presents a portrait of Swift in his multifarious roles as satirist, politician, churchman, and friend. In particular, he seeks to re-establish a proper balance between Swifts public and private lives. Swifts works are full of warnings for those who adopt a middle course; yet he also insists that it is the only way to avoid shipwreck on the opposing rocks of pedantry and populism. Throughout his life he saw specialization as a first dangerous step towards that distorted simplification of complex human phenomena which characterizes all factions and fanatics. This critical biography therefore adopts a middle course between, on the one hand, those partial and lopsided views that often result from giving undue prominence to a particular theme or genre, and, on the other hand, the broad sweeps of the generalizing critic which run the risk of missing altogether the teasing particularity of Swifts ironies. This book should long remain the standard, one-volume biography of Swift for all students and general readers. / CONTENTS ILLUSTRATIONS ABBREVIATIONS CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE PART ONE: THE CONJURED SPIRIT PART TWO: FIRST FRUITS PART THREE: THE LIFE OF A SPIDER PART FOUR: THE DEAN AND THE DRAPIER PART FIVE: THE ISLE OF SLAVES INDEX.
