The Reception of Jonathan Swift in Europe
Bloomsbury Academic USA
2013
nidottu
Jonathan Swift has had a profound impact on almost all the national literatures of Continental Europe. The celebrated author of acknowledged masterpieces like A Tale of a Tub (1704), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal (1729), the Dean of St Patrick's, Dublin, was courted by innumerable translators, adaptors, and retellers, admired and challenged by shoals of critics, and creatively imitated by both novelists and playwrights, not only in Central Europe (Germany and Switzerland) but also in its northern (Denmark and Sweden) and southern (Italy, Spain, and Portugal) outposts, as well as its eastern (Poland and Russia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria) and Western parts - from the beginning of the 18th century to the present day.

The collected letters of Jonathan Swift D.D., Irish dean and celebrated author of "Gulliver's Travels," have long been esteemed with the best to have emerged from eighteenth century England, an age distinguished for the excellence of its letters. In the half century from 1690 to 1740 some two hundred and thirty contemporaries, in all walks of life, thought to preserve his autographs: among them were his literary friends, his printers and publishers, politicians of the day in England and Ireland, his ecclesiastical superiors and other clergy, his friends of the nobility, and closer friends and relatives. He also diligently kept many of their replies. Together these project a marvellously animated panorama not only of his own life, but of his varied acquaintance, and the scenes of London, Dublin, and rural Ireland through a deeply interesting historical era. This entirely new edition prepared by a recognized authority presents over 1500 letters, derived from the earliest authentic texts in manuscript or print, and provides the most comprehensive commentary to date, based upon published and unpublished research of the last thirty years. Volumes I, II, III and IV are published. The indexes to the whole correspondence will be published in a fifth volume.

The present study is the first monograph dedicated to Jonathan Swift’s sermons. As critics have noted, the sermons are “the least examined area within (the) least examined area” of Swift studies (Weinbrot 2008). While Swift’s own disparaging comment on his homilies (“the idlest trifling stuff that ever was writ”) might partly account for this critical disaffection, we suggest that his sermons may be fruitfully apprehended with a new approach of Swift as preacher of his homiletic language, as well as his use of language at large. This study presents a radically new perspective on the sermons, demonstrating that linguistic pragmatics reveals that they are characterised by a silent rhetoric, which complexifies the vision of the sermons as characterised by “narrow and shallow orthodoxy” (Nokes, 1985, p. 278). While this study leans toward the textual, the theory of language which underpins it is inclusive and makes it possible to reconcile text and context. Consequently, the overall approach is neither purely historicist nor exclusively textual, and contextualization and comparisons to other preachers are provided. The main thrust of this study thus consists in highlighting the intricate links between formal autonomy and the historico-political context in which the sermons are embedded.
Comes with the same warning as the previous three books published,,,, only read one or two writings a day, or it will blow your mind for a while. Spiritually inspired poetry and very much alive annotations with every missive. If just one of these epistles touch a chord with you,,, then I have done my part of this task. May your God go with you.
