The Works of Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patrickâs, Dublin, Vol. 15 of 19

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a collection of riddles and accompanying answers, was written in the 1720s by several authors, primary among them Jonathan Swift, known for his satirical writing style. Swift, along with Alexander Pope and John Gay, were part of a literary circle known as the Scriblerus Club which was dedicated to mocking contemporary culture and its literary and political figures. These riddles were likely part of their larger body of work engaging in this practice. Within this volume, the riddles cover a broad range of subjects from common objects and animals to more abstract concepts such as time, sound, and the moon. Many of the riddles are deliberately nonsensical and absurd, showing not only the authors' wit but also the playful and whimsical nature of their literary circle. This book provides an entertaining glimpse into the minds of these great authors, offering readers a chance to engage with them through wordplay, humor, and thoughtful reflection.
