A.The Canterbury Tales B。The Ballad of Robin Hood
英语专业,英国文学,考研,期末考试必备 Jonathan Swift
• Satirical novelist
A Modest Proposal
• By suggesting that poor Irish parents sell their one-year-old babies to the rich English lords and ladies as food, Swift is making the most devastating protest against the inhuman exploitation and oppression of the Irish people by the English ruling class. • The apparent eagerness, sincerity and detachment of the author adds force to the bitter irony and biting sarcasm.
His Writing Style
• Swift's style is composed chiefly of satire, allegory, and irony. • His satire consists of a mocking attack against vices, stupidities, and follies, with an aim to educate and improve. • Allegory is one of Swift's most important satirical tools. It is a device in which characters, situations, and places have a significance that goes beyond simply what they are in themselves. Allegory, like satire, is used to teach.
