Summary

A Modest Proposal is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift. Widely regarded as one of the most brilliant pieces of political satire ever published, "A Modest Proposal" is Jonathan Swift's merciless skewering of England's treatment of Ireland's impoverished population in the eighteenth century. Nearly 300 years after its release, this shocking and outrageous essay still packs a punch. As part of our mission to publish great works of literary fiction and nonfiction, Sheba Blake Publishing Corporation is extremely dedicated to bringing to the forefront the amazing works of long dead and truly talented authors
