“You can’t reason people out of something they weren’t reasoned into.”
Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745)
“Swift originally published all of his works under pseudonyms—such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M.B.
Drapier—or anonymously. He is also known for being a master of two styles of satire: the Horatian and Juvenalian styles.
He is remembered for works such as Gulliver’s Travels, A Modest Proposal, A Journal to Stella, Drapier’s Letters, The Battle of the Books, An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity, and A Tale of a Tub.”
