Reviews & endorsements
"It is good to recover the complexity of Swift's attitude toward language and style, his penchant for verbal extremism and violence, and his exploitation of ambiguity and instability . . ." Studies in English Literature 1500-1900
See more reviews"Although commentary on Swift is copious, few recent works are aimed at the beginner, so this volume should be welcome to many." Choice
"The Cambridge Companion to Jonathan Swift is an excellent introduction to Swift and Swift studies that not only offers reliable information about the man, his life, and his works, but also deftly reveals the enduring issues that continue to preoccupy Swift's readers." - Eighteenth Century Fiction, J.A. Downie, Goldsmiths College, London
