| Summary | "The Prose Works of Jonathan Swift, D.D. - Volume 07" by Jonathan Swift is a collection of historical and political tracts written in the early 18th century. This volume exposes the plight of Ireland under English rule, with Swift using his keen satirical voice to address various socio-political issues pertaining to the governance and condition of Ireland. The texts contained within reflect Swift's passionate advocacy for Irish rights and his criticism of the English policies that adversely affected the local populace. At the start of this volume, the opening portion introduces Jonathan Swift’s context in relation to Ireland after his return to Dublin. It highlights the negative conditions prevalent in the country due to mismanagement and oppressive English policies. Swift finds himself amidst financial struggles and limited political influence, yet he endeavors to address these injustices through his writings. The content establishes the grim socio-economic climate in Ireland, detailing the burgeoning tensions and the effects of the English "English party"'s betrayal of the Irish people, setting the stage for the subsequent tracts advocating for reform and Irish independence.
