Swift's satires on modernismbattlegrounds of reading and writing /[electronic resource] :G. Douglas Atkins. - [Basingstoke] :Palgrave Macmillan,2012 - 1 online resource.

Introduction: The Spider and the Bee: Ancients vs. Moderns and the Battle of the Books -- 1. The World Swift Saw Aborning -- 2. The Priesthood of All Readers:'This good had full as bad a Consequence' -- 3. Swift and the Modern Personal Essay: "A Tale of a Tub" and 'A Modest Proposal' -- 4. Tripping and Troping , Inside and Out:Surface, Depth, and the 'Converting Imagination' in "A Tale of a Tub" -- 5. 'The Physical Act of Worship, not the Mental Act of Belief or Assent': Reading "An Argument against Abolishing Christianity".

More than three centuries since their first publication, Jonathan Swift's "A Tale of a Tub", 'The Battle of the Books,' 'The Mechanical Operation of the Spirit,' and "An Argument against Abolishing Christianity" remain striking, prescient, and still-relevant challenges to Modern commitments to inwardness, reflection, and spiritualism. In this lively and engaging study - grounded in the intellectual and historical currents of Swift's time, with an eye on the implications for the present day - G. Douglas Atkins brings forty-plus years of scholarly and critical experience to bear on some of the greatest satires ever written. The study reveals new contexts for understanding Swift's satires, including post-Reformation reading practices and the development of the modern personal essay. This book revisits, from fresh perspectives, the late seventeenth-century version of the perennial warfare between Ancients and Moderns, then often instanced as 'the battle of the books.'.
