| Publisher Description: Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" is a satirical essay written to mock the callous and indignant attitude of Ireland's rich towards the poor. In the essay, Swift argues Ireland's economic problems could be lessened by selling poor Irish children as food to the wealthy. First published in 1729, Swift's essay gained international attention as a satire unlike any other published to-date. "A Modest Proposal" helped bring international attention to rising economic uncertainty in Ireland and the plight of the less fortunate. |
