{"product_id":"swift-vs-mainwaring-frank-h-ellis-9780198125228","title":"Swift vs. Mainwaring: The Examiner and the Medley","description":"In this edition the text of \u003cem\u003eThe Examiner\u003c\/em\u003e is presented as Swift wrote it, not as it was revised for publication by George Faulkner in 1738. And for the first time Swift's \u003cem\u003eExaminers\u003c\/em\u003e are juxtaposed with the \u003cem\u003eMedleys\u003c\/em\u003e of Arthur Mainwaring that replied to them every week. They bring the reader close to the \u003cem\u003eactualités\u003c\/em\u003e of London between November 1710 and June 1711. From the literary point of view \u003cem\u003eThe Examiner\u003c\/em\u003e is important because it contains some of Swift's best work. Even under the pressure of weekly publication he was still able to achieve, in Herbert Davis's words, 'an aloofness as if beyond bias and passion'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank H.
