It includes a wealth of material concerning Swift’s family and career, his emotional and sexual life, his relationship with Sir William Temple, and the design and meaning of both A Tale of a Tub and The Battle of the Books.

Mr Swift and his Contemporaries is ideal for anyone with an interest in Swift’s life, work, and the period in which he lived.
