Swift in Print - Valerie (university Of Birmingham) Rumbold - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Swift in Print - Valerie (university Of Birmingham) Rumbold - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Presenting a fresh perspective on one of the most celebrated print canons in literary history, Valerie Rumbold explores the expressive force of print context, format, typography, ornament and paratext encountered by early readers of Jonathan Swift. By focusing on the books, pamphlets and single sheets in which the Dublin and London book trades published his work, this revealing whole-career analysis, based on a chronology of publication that often lagged years behind dates of composition, examines first editions and significant reprints throughout Swift''s lifetime, and posthumous first editions and collections in the twenty years after his death. Drawing on this material evidence, Rumbold reframes Swift''s publishing career as a late expression of an early modern formation in which publishing was primarily an adjunct to public service. In an age of digital reading, this timely study invites a new engagement with the printed texts of Swift.

Journal to Stella - Jonathan Swift - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Journal to Stella - Jonathan Swift - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Journal to Stella, Jonathan Swift''s letters to Esther Johnson, or ''Stella'', and Rebecca Dingley, written between September 1710 and June 1713, offers an extraordinary commentary on Swift''s experiences in London during the most politically active and exciting years of his career and evidence of his evolving relationship with the two women. This edition seeks for the first time both to situate the letters alongside Swift''s other works and to place them within their original political, historical and cultural contexts. It brings together a combination of printed work and manuscript to present the most complete and accessible text possible, enhanced by the use of the latest digital image analysis techniques to reinstate previously indecipherable material. In addition to a new critical introduction and appendices, there is also a biographical appendix derived from recently available resources.

Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Gulliver''s Travels is one of the few works of English literature which is also a landmark in world literature. Jonathan Swift''s account of Lemuel Gulliver''s adventures in the fantastical societies of ''remote nations'' was an instant best-seller on publication in 1726 and has remained in the public imagination ever since, as both a satiric fantasy and an analysis of the human condition. This scholarly edition offers an authoritative text, based on the widest possible historical collation of the many editions published in Swift''s lifetime; a detailed introduction and textual apparatus; and appendices and illustrations presenting important ancillary material with new clarity. Extensive notes and commentary open out the many layers of meaning and allusion in the text, identify new sources and parallels and offer wide-ranging historical background information. An important addition to the Cambridge Swift Edition, this volume will be indispensable for scholars and students of eighteenth-century literature and ideas.

Swift and Others - Claude Rawson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Swift and Others - Claude Rawson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

"Jonathan Swift''s influence on the writings and politics of England and Ireland was reinforced by a combination of contradictory forces: an authoritarian attachment to tradition and rule, and a vivid responsiveness to the disorders of a modernity he resisted and yet helped to create. He was, perhaps even more than Pope, a dominant voice of his times. The rich variety of the literary culture to which he belonged shows the penetration of his ideas, personality and style. This is true of writers who were his friends and admirers (Pope), of adversaries (Mandeville, Johnson), of several who became great ironists in his shadow (Gibbon, Austen), and of some surprising examples of Swiftian afterlife (Chatterton). Claude Rawson, leading scholar of the works of Swift, brings together recent essays, as well as classic earlier work extensively revised, to offer fresh insights into an era when Swift''s voice was a pervasive presence"--

Parodies, Hoaxes, Mock Treatises - Jonathan Swift - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Parodies, Hoaxes, Mock Treatises - Jonathan Swift - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Swift''s parodies are among his most fascinating works, but perhaps require most explication for the modern reader. Valerie Rumbold brings a new depth and detail to the editing of Swift''s Bickerstaff papers, ''Polite Conversation'', ''Directions to Servants'' and other works on language and conduct. Highlights include a fresh investigation of the political and print contexts of the Bickerstaff papers, full commentaries on such smaller works as ''A Modest Defence of Punning'' and ''On Barbarous Denominations in Ireland'', identification and explanation of many additional sayings in ''Polite Conversation'', and a detailed contextualisation of ''Directions to Servants'' in contemporary domestic theory and practice. A substantial thematic Introduction is supplemented by an individual headnote and full annotation to each work. The Textual Introduction explores the publishing strategies adopted by Swift and his booksellers, and a separate Textual Account of each work presents and discusses changes in the texts over time.

English Political Writings 1711–1714 - Jonathan Swift - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

English Political Writings 1711–1714 - Jonathan Swift - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The years 1711 to 1714 saw some of Swift''s most brilliant and powerful political pamphleteering. Writing for the Tory government, he did more to settle the fate of parties and the nation than any literary figure, before or since. This volume collects together major defences of the government''s position, including The Conduct of the Allies and The Publick Spirit of the Whigs, vigorous attacks on his opponents, short satirical broadsides, and brief contributions to periodicals. It also includes some little known work not present in previous editions of Swift. This is the first fully annotated edition of these works. A comprehensive introduction, drawing on contemporary literary and historical scholarship, is supported by detailed explanatory notes on each text. It is also the first edition to identify and collate all relevant contemporary editions and provide a full account of the textual history of each work.
