A TALE OF A TUB, TO WHICH IS ADDED THE BATTLE OF THE BOOKS AND THE MECHANICAL OPERATION OF THE SPIRIT. Edited with an introduction by A. C. Guthkelch & D. Nichol Smith.

A Tale of a Tub was the first major work written by Jonathan Swift, composed between 1694 and 1697, that was eventually published in 1704. It is arguably his most difficult satire, and perhaps his most masterly.
