Griffin New York : Cambridge University Press, 2010 260 pages text txt rdacontent unmediated n rdamedia volume nc rdacarrier "Swift and Pope were lifelong friends and fellow satirists with shared literary sensibilities. But there were significant differences - demographic, psychological, and literary - between them: an Anglican and a Roman Catholic, an Irishman and an Englishman, one deeply committed to politically engaged poetry, and the other reluctant to engage in partisanship and inclined to distinguish poetry from politics. Dustin Griffin argues that we need to pay more attention to those differences, which both authors recognised and discussed. Their letters, poems, and satires can be read as stages in an ongoing conversation or satiric dialogue: each often wrote for the other, sometimes addressing him directly, sometimes emulating or imitating. In some sense, each was constantly replying to the other. From their lifelong dialogue emerges not only the extraordinary affection and admiration they felt for Correspondence Friends and associates English Satire English Satirists History and criticism Criticism and interpretation Biography Swift, jonathan, 1667-1745 633017 633017 0 0 0 0 ACL ACL GEN 2026-09-27 0 828.509 SWI 246634 2026-09-27 13:28:37 2026-09-27 BK
