Description
“Jonathan Swift’s Advice for Living in Troubled Times”
Dr. Eugene Hammond, Professor of English and Program in Writing & Rhetoric, will present aspects of his research on Jonathan Swift, published in 2017. This talk will focus on several aspects of Swift’s life that apply directly to our own time, such as his essay “”The Art of Political Lying,”” his political strategies during the 30 years that he lived under a “”tea party””-like government, his responses to English cynical colonialism of Ireland, and his setting up the world’s first long-term micro-lending project.
