Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin in the year 1667. His father was a noted clergyman in england who died before Swift was born. As a student, Swift enjoyed reading and literature. He received his Masters degree from Oxford in 1692 and a Dcotor of Divinity from Dublin University in 1702. He was ordained as a priest in the Church of Ireland in 1694. He died in October 1745, leaving his estate to charity. During his lifetime, he wrote a lot of prose and poetry, in which he criticised himself, society, philosophy, religon, and politics. Some of his works include Tale of a Tub, Battle of the Books, A Modest Proposal and The Drapier's Letters. The Letters was published without the author's name and harshly attacked England's policies aganist Ireland. The English were so annoyed by it, they offered a reward for the name of the author. Although the Irish knew that Swift had written the letters, they did not betray him and made him a national hero instead.
