A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift Please welcome the Godfather of Satire, Jonathan Swift. A Modest Proposal is his short masterpiece. Full title: A Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick. Published anonymously by Swift in 1729, the essay is widely held to be one of the greatest examples of sustained irony in the history of the English language. Much of its shock value derives from the fact that the first portion of the essay describes the plight of starving beggars in Ireland, so that the reader is unprepared for the surprise of Swift's solution. Jonathan Swift that proposes the Irish poor sell their children as food to the wealthy to solve poverty and overpopulation, using shocking irony to critique British exploitation and societal indifference in Ireland. Written from the perspective of a fictional narrator, the essay uses cold, economic language to suggest butchering children, highlighting the dehumanization of the Irish and exposing the moral failings of the ruling class. The title has become a byword for any outrageous solution to a problem. Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish writer, essayist, satirist, and Anglican cleric. He was the author of the satirical prose novel Gulliver's Travels and the creator of the fictional island of Lilliput. His essay, A Modest Proposal, was one of the most controversial pieces of its day. #jonathanswift #gulliverstravels #amodestproposal Read the whole story...
