"Whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound and useful members of the common-wealth, would deserve so well of the public, as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation."

― Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal

A Modest Proposal, a Juvenalian satirical essay written by Jonathan Swift.

In this essay, Swift presents a proposal "For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick".

The first portion of the essay describes the sad fate of the poverty-stricken Irish, followed by Swift's solution for that - which is to raise children as food for the wealthy citizens.

Swift goes to great lengths to support his argument. He discusses the probable benefits of his suggestion to the economy and even includes a list of possible cooking methods and how much a child should weigh to serve the maximum number of guests.

The author insists that the only objection anyone could have to this plan is that there will be a decrease in the population - but even that could be beneficial in some ways.

Will you be able to accept Swift�s modest proposal? Read his arguments and contemplate.

Biograf�a del autor

Born in 1667, Jonathan Swift was an Irish writer and cleric, best known for his works Gulliver s Travels, A Modest Proposal, and A Journal to Stella, amongst many others. Educated at Trinity College in Dublin, Swift received his Doctor of Divinity in February 1702, and eventually became Dean of St. Patrick s Cathedral in Dublin. Publishing under the names of Lemeul Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, and M. B. Drapier, Swift was a prolific writer who, in addition to his prose works, composed poetry, essays, and political pamphlets for both the Whigs and the Tories, and is considered to be one of the foremost English-language satirists, mastering both the Horatian and Juvenalian styles. Swift died in 1745, leaving the bulk of his fortune to found St. Patrick s Hospital for Imbeciles, a hospital for the mentally ill, which continues to operate as a psychiatric hospital today.

Rese�a del editor

A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland From Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. Swift suggests in his essay that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. By doing this he mocks the authority of the British officials. A Modest Proposal is included in many literature programs as an example of early modern western satire. It also serves as an exceptional introduction to the concept and use of argumentative language, lending itself well to secondary and post-secondary essay courses. Outside of the realm of English studies, A Modest Proposal is a relevant piece included in many comparative and global literature and history courses, as well as those of numerous other disciplines in the arts, humanities, and even the social sciences.
