Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Swift, Jonathan. Jonathan Swift's Directions to Servants / with drawings by Joseph Low. First edition. London: Anthony Blond Ltd., 1965. Hardback, VG, in unclipped dustjacket with light shelfwear, the spine a little sunned and rubbed along the edges. Tan cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Binding strong. 127pp., contents clean and bright. Directions to Servants is a satirical and humorous essay. Swift is known to have been working on it in 1731, though it was not published until after his death in 1745. Swift goes beyond simple parody or satire: by providing the servants with advice that verges on the absurd he deconstructs and amusingly reveals the absurdities of the Eighteenth-century English social system. But Swift is not concerned with the reform of society, and he does not have Beaumarchais's pre-revolutionary stress on the injustice of an aristocratic system. Rather, his intent is to mock and denounce the travails of human nature. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
