'A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.' Among Jonathan Swift's essays, the most notable piece is a later work A Modest Proposal (1729), which stands out for its sharp satire of the Irish upper classes' ignorance and disregard for the impoverished. The author is known worldwide, however, for his novel Gulliver's Travels (1726)-a tale widely admired for its nuance and allegorical potency. |
