The first major work that he wrote, it is a prose parody about two brothers who are each representative of the chief aspects of western Christianity. It mainly deals with the ideas of religious enthusiasm, pride, and credulity. Published at a time when religion was an intrinsic aspect of politics, the work was widely condemned, with Queen Anne going as far as to call it \"profane\". Contents include: \"The Introduction\", \"A Digression Concerning Critics\", \"A Tale of a Tub\", \"A Digression in the Modern Kind\", \"A Tale of a Tub\", \"A Digression in Praise of Digressions\", \"A Tale of a Tub\", \"A Digression Concerning the Original\", \"A Farther Digression\", \"A Tale of a Tub\", et cetera. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Anglo-Irish essayist, satirist, poet, and cleric. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 31, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41874226839687,"sku":"9781406791686","price":31.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/71ca2b68215f9ecb092395d1dea8d583.webp?v=1734080815","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/a-tale-of-a-tub-1704-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
