-- Swift :[2013], Adult, Yale University Press Call No: Bio S977d Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Lewis Walpole series in eighteenth-century culture and history.Summary Note: "Leo Damrosch draws on discoveries made over the past thirty years to tell the story of Swift's life anew. Some daring speculations about Swift's parentage, love life, and various personal relationships show how Swift's public version of his life was deliberately misleading. Swift concealed aspects of himself and his relationships, and other people in his life helped to keep his secrets. Assembling suggestive clues, Damrosch re-narrates the events of Swift's life while making vivid the scents, sounds, and smells of his English and Irish surroundings. A complex Swift emerges: a restless, combative, empathetic figure, a man of biting wit and powerful mind" -- Publisher's description.
