Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Irish satirist, essayist, prose writer and poet, who has found his calling as a cleric of St Patrick`s Cathedral in Dublin. "A Tale of a Tub" is one the most famous and masterful of Swift`s satire works. It is a prose parody consisting of several sections about the morals and ethics of England, a satire of religious overflow, tendencies in literature, politics, theology, and even medicine. Nothing went unnoticed!
