Gadd, I ORCID: 0000-0002-6154-5990 and Goldgar, B (2008) Jonathan Swift - English political writings 1711-1714: 'The conduct of the allies' and other works. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge. ISBN 9780521829298
Abstract
The years 1711 to 1714 saw some of Swift's most brilliant and powerful political pamphleteering. Writing for the Tory government, he did more to settle the fate of parties and the nation than any literary figure, before or since. This volume collects together major defences of the government's position, including The Conduct of the Allies and The Publick Spirit of the Whigs, vigorous attacks on his opponents, short satirical broadsides, and brief contributions to periodicals. It also includes some little known work not present in previous editions of Swift.
