A review by mikemulligan
A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift

3.0

A Modest Proposal is incredible and still relevant all these years later. In general I prefer his later works though that may be because of their Irish themes. To get the most out of the essays you need to get a bit of background on who is is taking aim at and why. But Swift really knows how to throw shade.
