Jonathan Swift. (1667-1745)

Jonathan Swift was the greatest of English satirists. His better satire at the contemporary social order in general and an the policy of English government in particular. That’s why the Irish people considered Swift the champion in the struggle against the wealthy and freedom of their country.

Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin, but he came from English family. His father died at the age of 25, leaving his wife and daughter pennyless. His son was born seven months later after his death.

The boy knew little of his mother. He hardly ever saw her, during his childhood. Jonathan was supported by his uncle Godwin.

At the age of 6 he was sent to school, which he left at 14. Then he entered a college in Dublin and got his bachelor’s degree in 1686.
