Reviews
«This is a most pragmatic and useful study, offering a unique and perceptive reading of Swift's works, with no desire on Forster's part to employ one overriding critical view at the expense of others. ...this effectively crafted and organized study adds a most important and impressive piece of criticism to a rather long list of works devoted to Swift and his writings... Highly recommended to anyone interested in Swift and 18th-century satire.» (R.G. Brown, Choice) «Toute l'étude se faufile entre philosophie, écriture, narratologie et histoire sans jamais tomber dans la déformation ou l'utilisation frauduleuse de l'une ou de l'autre. On peut se féliciter que ce livre ait pris Swift pour objet: 'Gulliver' est un livre si connu, Swift un écrivain si moderne par tant d'aspects, que l'analyse peut déployer toute sa subtilité en utilisant des références connues dont elle tire le maximum. ... L'ensemble, de très bonne tenue, explique bien pourquoi 'Gulliver' demeure essentiel: des générations successives de lecteurs y retrouvent une alliance tonique de la lucidité et de l'invention comique.» (M. Baridon, Dix-Huitième Siècle)

Synopsis
Much has been written on Swift and his principal satires. But surprisingly little attention has been paid to the imagination of the great Augustan satirist. His satirical deployment of fictions has never been systematically examined. Yet it is this aspect of his work which has done more than anything else to endear him to readers. The critical implications of this fact are the subject of Jonathan Swift: The Fictions of the Satirist . Against the current tendency to stress the relationship between the work and the life of the man or his age, J.-P. Forster explores the parodic devices and other fictional patterns by means of which the satirist produces his biting vision of man as a social and political animal. He argues that it is these fictional devices that enable Swift to construct his uncanny satirical reference to reality and to produce satirical effects that irony and rhetoric could never achieve by themselves. The book highlights the inventiveness of the satirist and his skill at manipulating the reader's expectations. It presents Swift as a man of the Age of Reason ever ready to call the imagination to the rescue of common sense. The present revised edition has been for its author an opportunity to review the situation in Swift studies after half a decade. The book makes use of, or draws attention to, recent work on the subject of the satirist's fictions and proposes further reflections on the character of the satirist's imagination. Above all, it has benefited from the recent development of interdisciplinary research on the eighteenth century, its medicine and visual arts., Much has been written on Swift and his principal satires.

Top packaging material was placed haphazardly in box. Box was not strong enough for this type of item. It was box sink is sold in but should not be shipped in. I was a little suspect that item was broken before it was shipped. The one good thing was the quick refund of my money. It was just more of a waste of my time.
