Book Description:
Jonathan Swift began stirring up trouble as soon as he appeared on England's literary scene in the early 1700s. In this new reprint of his classic short satires, Swift relates the clash between the ancient and modern books at King James's library ('The Battle of the Books') and wittily attacks astrological and almanac predictions ('Predictions for the Year 1708' and 'The Accomplishment of the First of Mr. Bickerstaff's Predictions'). The title piece assails the Church and organized religion as 'the great enemy to the freedom of thought and action.' Abolishing Christianity and Other Essays includes some of Swift s most blistering screeds, including his infamous essay advocating cannibalizing the poor as an antidote to overpopulation. As comic and enlightening now as they were when written 250 years ago, these rude, rollicking essays have an unexpected urgency as they take on issues of church and state that continue to pervade and disturb the culture.
