This collection offers carefully curated arguments constellated around four key relationships: Swift and the literary-historical canon; Swift and the language of gender and sexuality; Swift and the relationship between writing and memory; and Swift and the nature of literary craft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBetsy Winakur Tontiplaphol\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of English at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, USA, where she specializes in 19th-century British literature, particularly Romantic poetry.
