Jonathan Swift (30 November 1667 – 19 October 1745) was an Anglo-Irish writer, satirist, and Anglican cleric who became the dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, and hence his common sobriquet "Dean Swift". His trademark deadpan and ironic style of writing, particularly in A Modest Proposal (1729), has led to such satire being subsequently termed as "Swiftian". He is best remembered for his satirical book Gulliver's Travels (1726).
