DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Jonathan Swift lived through a period of turbulence and innovation in the evolution of the book. His publications, perhaps more than those of any other single author, illustrate the range of developments that transformed print culture during the early Enlightenment. Swift was a prolific author and a frequent visitor at the printing house, and he wrote as critic and satirist about the nature of text. The shifting moods of irony, complicity and indignation that characterise his dealings with the book trade add a layer of complexity to the bibliographic record of his published works. The essays collected here offer the first comprehensive, integrated survey of that record. They shed new light on the politics of the eighteenth-century book trade, on Swift's innovations as a maker of books, on the habits and opinions revealed by his commentary on printed texts and on the re-shaping of the Swiftian book after his death.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Vanessa and Her Correspondence With Jonathan Swift: The Letters Edited for the First Time From the Originals For the pleasure I have had in making this book I am indebted to Mr. Robin Flower, of the Department of MSS., British Museum, who indicated the manuscripts to me and suggested that I should edit them, and placed at my disposal the work he had done on them for the official Catalogue. The reader must participate in my gratitude to him for having corrected or confirmed my wavering interpretation of many difficult writings, checked my transcript and subsequently compared certain portions of the proof with the manuscript. His generous collaboration at all stages has enabled me to claim for the text of the letters here printed a degree of accuracy of which, but for association with an expert, it would have been hard to feel satisfied. But in case subsequent transcribers should condemn my readings of "carver" in No. XLIV and "tantony" in No. ii., I here proclaim my sole responsibility for them.
