Summary: "Swift" by Leslie Stephen is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life of Jonathan Swift, the renowned author and Dean of St. Patrick's, providing insights into his early years, influences, and formative experiences. The book explores not only Swift's personal history but also the broader context of 17th and 18th-century Ireland. The opening of the text introduces Jonathan Swift’s lineage, detailing his family background and early childhood, marked by struggles and a sense of neglect. It describes the peculiar circumstances surrounding his birth and upbringing, revealing a precocious child influenced by issues of identity and belonging. As he navigates his education, particularly at Trinity College Dublin and the feelings of resentment towards his relatives, readers get a glimpse into the early development of Swift’s complex character and intellect, setting the stage for his later literary accomplishments and satirical prowess.
