Synopses & Reviews
This classic study of the structure of Swifts works, first published by Yale University Press in 1953 and reissued by Archon Books in 1963, is here brought back into print in paperback form.
Prices brilliant essay is concerned principally with structure as it serves to create meaning, but he deals with the large themes of Swifts major works and gives an overview of Swifts work as a whole. It thus provides a useful emphasis to an adequate reading of Swift and suggests new relations between his works and that of other periods.
