Jonathan Swift: Feminine Gender Roles
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Jonathan Swift is well-known for his scatological poems, in which he took great delight delving into matters of obscenity. Swift's particular preference was toward the female gender, which he often contemplated yet just as often treated with great indecency. In assessing 'The Lady's Dressing Room' and 'A Beautiful Young Nymph Going to Bed,' one gets a distinct feel for the manner in which Swift felt -- both physically and emotionally -- toward women, given the era and mentality in relation to the female gender. The writer discusses feminine gender roles in relation to the two poems, as well as addresses the issue of whether or not Swift was a misogynist. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses “A Modest Proposal” written by Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) and how it fit into the timeframe of the Enlightenment. Prior to the “Age of Enlightenment,” the consideration of others as equal entities had not been taken into account. Swift took what was relatively commonplace British colonial policy and carried it to its inevitable conclusion, recommending that since the conquerors have consumed the island and its resources, it could pursue a useful policy for dealing with Irish children by butchering them and making them food for the British.
