As a contribution to the tercentenary celebrations of Jonathan Swift's birth, Radio Telefis Eire-ann arranged this series of Thomas Davis Lectures. The aim of the lectures was to convey a personal response to Swift's major work, and at least to imply the presence of his work as a whole. The essays in this volume are as follows: "The Life of Jonathan Swift" by Roger McHugh, "Gullliver's Travels" by Matthew Hodgart, "The Dean and the Drapier" by Mark Kinkead-Weekes, "Dean of St. Patrick's: AView from the Letters" by John Holloway, and "Swift as Poet" by Denis Donoghue. $35.45USD
