概要	It is often thought that Jonathan Swift was vehemently opposed to the new science that heralded the beginning of the modern age, but this book interrogates that assumption, bringing fresh perspective ...o his most famous works, and making a case for the intellectual importance of some of his more neglected poems and prose satires. This study traces the theological, political, and socio-cultural resonances of scientific knowledge in the early eighteenth century, and considers what they can reveal about the growth of Swift's imagination. Taking us to a universe made from clothes, to a place where flowers can talk and men are only trees turned upside down, to an island that hovers high in the clouds, and to a library where a spider predicts how the world will end, this book shows how satire can be a active unique participant in cultural debates about the methods and purpose of scientific enquiry.
