Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a stream of consciousness journal kept secret by Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels, during the reign of Queen Anne and the rise of Robert Harley to power as Lord Treasurer. Significant political events of the day, particularly concerning the Whig and Tory parties, and Harley's tumultuous relationship with Henry St. John, are recounted, giving insight into the political climate of the time. Many of the entries also provide insight into Swift's personal life and struggles; his friendships, his ambition, his frustrations, and his financial situation. Through it all, we follow the writer's complex personality, his highs and lows, and his philosophical musings on issues such as vanity, reputation, and the meaning of friendship. In an era with limited media and communication, Swift's journal offers a fascinating window into the life and mind of a man widely considered to be one of the finest prose stylists in the English language.
