    Extractions: Irish author and satirist Jonathan Swift was born November 30, 1667 in Dublin. His father died before Swift's birth, leaving his wife with a baby daughter and unborn son. As a result, Swift was raised by his three uncles. It is believed that Swift felt a sense of insecurity during his childhood because he had no father and his home life was unstable Swift's uncles took care of Swift's education. At age 6, he was sent to Kilkenny School, considered the best school in Ireland at that time. At 15, Swift entered Trinity College in Dublin. He was not a particularly good student and tended to neglect his studies. Although he received his degree in 1686, it was speciali gratia, meaning "by special favor." Swift continued his studies at Trinity as a candidate for an advanced degree. However, in 1689 he was forced to move to England because of political unrest. In England, he worked as a secretary to Sir William Temple at Moor Park, Surrey. Temple was a diplomat and writer, who was preparing his memoirs. Although their relationship was often strained, Swift worked for Temple for the next 10 years. During his employment at Moor Park, Swift was given unlimited access to Temple's vast library, which helped him to grow intellectually. He also met and tutored Esther Johnson, the daughter of Temple's widowed housekeeper. In later writings, Swift referred to Johnson as Stella. His relationship with Stella continues to be one of controversy and speculation. Some say Swift and Stella were secretly married.

Swift's father died prior to his birth, leaving him, his mother, and three sisters dependent upon the charity of his father's family. He was well-provided for by his father's family and well-educated in the best schools in Ireland. In 1689, civil unrest in Ireland caused Swift to flee to England, where he secured a position as a secretary to Sir William Temple. While employed by Temple, Swift read widely and was introduced to many prominent individuals. Though Swift once proposed marriage to Jane Waring, in truth he placed a higher value on friendship than love or marriage. This was demonstrated by the relationship with his closest personal friend, Esther Johnson. At one time it was believed that Swift was insane during the last years of his life. However, this notion has been discredited as it is now known that he suffered from Ménière's Syndrome . In 1742, he was declared incapable of caring for himself and placed in the custody of guardians. When he died in 1745, he was buried in St. Patrick's Cathedral next to Esther Johnson.

    Extractions: Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) "It is easy for us who travel into remote Countries, which are seldom visited by Englishmen or other Europeans , to form Descriptions of wonderful Animals both at Sea and Land. Whereas a Traveller's chief Aim should be to make Men wiser and better, and to improve their Minds by the bad as well as good Example of what they deliver concerning foreign Places." Zur Person Doch er sollte schon bald wieder zu Sir William zurück kommen, um bei ihm zu wohnen, zu arbeiten und seinen Blick für politische wie gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen zu schärfen. Im Haus seines Dienstgebers begegnete er der damals achtjährigen Esther (Stella) Johnson, Tochter einer verwitweten Hausangestellten, deren Hauslehrer er - (das Wissen, ob es bei einer auf das Wissenschaftliche beschränkten Lehrer-Schülerin-Beziehung blieb, nahmen die beiden mit ins Grab, denn sie vermieden in den folgenden Jahren peinlichst jede gesellschaftlich kompromittierende Situation) - für längere Zeit wurde. Schon damals verfasste Swift eine erkleckliche Anzahl von Schriften, die er allerdings zumeist verbrannte. Sein Arbeitgeber, Sir William, war zu jener Zeit ein überaus wichtiger Staatsmann, der beispielsweise mithalf, die Heirat der nachmaligen britischen Monarchen William und Mary zu arrangieren.

    Extractions: On this day in 1745 Jonathan Swift died at the age of seventy-eight, after a long period of poor physical and mental health. Five years earlier, in his last note to the last person he could still make sense of, his devoted housekeeper Mrs. Whiteway, Swift admitted to feeling "so stupid and confounded [that] . . . I hardly understand one word I write. I am sure my days will be very few; few and miserable they must be." The Gifts of Jonathan Swift In life, according to those who knew or have written about him, Jonathan Swift was a complex combination of satire and friendship, charity and churlishness. In death too: his self-written epitaph reads in part, "Here lies the body of Jonathan Swift...where savage indignation can no longer lacerate his heart"; his will leaves his entire estate for the founding of "an hospital... for idiots and lunatics."

    Né le 30 novembre 1667 à Dublin, Swift y fit ses études  
    http://www.proverbes-citations.com/swift.htm
    
    Extractions: Swift, Jonathan (1667-1745), écrivain irlandais d'origine anglaise. Né le 30 novembre 1667 à Dublin, Swift y fit ses études au Trinity College, puis partit pour l'Angleterre en 1689 afin de servir de secrétaire au diplomate et écrivain sir William Temple qui était un parent éloigné de sa mère. Swift, qui ne s'entendait pas avec son employeur, regagna l'Irlande en 1694 et entra dans les ordres. Pourtant, en 1696, il se réconcilia avec Temple et revint chez lui pour faire l'éducation d'Esther Johnson, fille d'un de ses proches. Swift resta là jusqu'à la mort de son protecteur en 1699, jouissant d'une grande liberté qui lui permettait de s'adonner à la lecture et à l'écriture. L'un des premiers ouvrages de Swift s'intitule la Bataille des livres (rédigé en 1697, publié en 1704) et consiste en une parodie de la querelle des Anciens et des Modernes, querelle qui faisait rage à l'époque dans les cercles littéraires et dont Temple avait à souffrir. Swift y prend la défense des Anciens et, par une satire féroce, attaque la pédanterie et le simulacre d'érudition alors en vigueur dans les cercles distingués. Parut ensuite le Conte du tonneau (1704), sa satire la plus amusante et la plus originale : il se moque avec une ironie sans égale des diverses formes de pédanterie, notamment dans les domaines de la littérature et de la religion. Ce livre souleva des doutes sur l'orthodoxie religieuse de son auteur et offensa la reine Anne, ce qui fut certainement fort préjudiciable à la carrière ecclésiastique de Swift en Angleterre. Sur le plan politique, Swift se prétendait du parti des whigs malgré son désaccord avec eux sur de nombreuses questions importantes. Lorsqu'en 1710 les tories prirent le pouvoir en Angleterre, il n'hésita d'ailleurs pas à se ranger dans leurs rangs. Il écrivit alors une série de petits textes satiriques acerbes à l'encontre des whigs, prit en charge la rédaction de l'Examiner, la publication officielle du parti tory, et composa nombre de pamphlets dans lesquels il défendait habilement la politique menée par son parti. Parmi ces derniers
