このコンテンツについて

 A Tale of a Tub marks Jonathan Swifts first significant work, crafted between 1694 and 1697 and published in 1704. Often considered his most challenging satire, this prose parody intricately weaves together sections of humorous digression and the fable of three brothers, each symbolizing a major branch of Western Christianity. The narrative is widely interpreted as a critique of religious fervor, drawing criticism from figures like William Wotton. While the tale consistently satirizes religious excess, the digressions serve as sharp parodies of contemporary literature, politics, theology, biblical interpretation, and medicine. The overarching theme critiques enthusiasm, pride, and gullibility. In an era when politics and religion were intricately intertwined in England, the religious and political satire often blurs together. Although Swifts work made him infamous and was misinterpreted by Queen Anne as mere profanity, it remains one of his most celebrated allegories. Despite its popularity, Swift believed it hindered his ambitions within the Church of England.Copyright Comedy and Fairy Tales
