John Stubbs' biography sets out to capture the dirt and beauty of a world that Jonathan Swift both scorned and sought to amend. It follows Jonathan Swift through his many battles, for and against authority, and in his many contradictions, as a priest who sought to uphold the dogma of his church; as a man who was quite prepared to defy convention, not least in his unshakeable attachment to an unmarried woman, his 'Stella'; and as a writer whose vision showed that no single creed holds all of the answers.
