Description: Swift's Politics: A Study in Disaffection by Ian Higgins A contextual reassessment of Swift's political writing concentrating on A Tale of a Tub and Gulliver's Travels. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Modern scholarship has represented Jonathan Swift as both an Old Whig and a non-Jacobite Tory. Ian Higgins contextual reassessment of Swifts political writing and recorded opinion considers the interpretative problems they present. It explores the consonance of Swifts political writing with militant Jacobite Tory writing on affairs of Church and State, and demonstrates Swifts dissimilarity from the Old Whig writers with whom modern criticism has misleadingly identified him. Swifts writings of the 1690s, during the last four years of Queen Annes reign, and after the Hanoverian succession are shown to contain Jacobitical political implications when examined in their context in the paper wars of the period. Higgins concentrates on the partisan meanings of the great satires A Tale of a Tub and Gullivers Travels, and represents Swift (as he was read by his contemporaries) as a disaffected High Church Anglican extremist with Jacobite inclinations.
