'A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasee, or a ragoust.' Jonathan Swift's 1729 pamphlet is at once a denunciation of the mistreatment of Ireland's poor and a daringly inventive comic rhapsody. Still shocking in its defiance of good taste and unrivalled in its evisceration of political hypocrisy, this is one of the greatest satires ever written.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was a prominent Anglican clergyman and an outspoken commentator on Irish affairs. He is now best known for his satires A Tale of a Tub, Gulliver's Travels, and A Modest Proposal.
