The Pen and the Sword: Jonathan Swift and the Power of the Press

Description

Focusing on 1710-11, this title illustrates how Jonathan Swift published one of his most devastating polemics "The Conduct of the Allies" that tore into the Whig government and the Duke of Marlborough in particular. It is an important moment in English History: the pen and the sword fought a duel, and the pen proved the stronger of the two.
