... an Swift: Misguided and Incorrect Criticisms
Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745) is quite possibly the
greatest satirist in the history of English
literature, and is without question the most
controversial. Infuriated by the moral degradation
of society in the eighteenth century, Swift wrote
a plethora of bitter pieces attacking man's
excessive pride, and the critical reception has
been one of very mixed reviews. While few question
Swift's skill as a satirist, his savage, merciless
attacks on the f...

indigenous phenomenon and the question of its
essential traits. Only gradually in a frequently
cross-referenced series of essays in the 1970 s
did they begin to express themselves. There are
now a dozen full-length books in English

Friedrich Nietzsche Literary Technique
3,976 words
Friedrich Nietzsche's career as a philosopher and
writer is nothing short of monumental. His
criticism of organized religion and support of
nihilism are key characteristics of his work, and
his books are unified by one simple fact:
Nietzsche himself wrote them. While this
revelation may not seem profound in any sense,
Nietzsche's view of his vocation as an author is
the source of inspiration, complication and,
indeed, the very root of his philosophy.
Nietzsche's use of literary technique results...
