description: In 1728-1729, Jonathan Swift and his friend Thomas Sheridan anonymously published the Intelligencer , a trenchant and often witty commentary on the Irish social and political scene in the year before the publication of A Modest Proposal . The first collected edition of the Intelligencer since 1730, this volume presents the rare original Dublin pamphlets, including full commentary and appendices based on contemporary broadsides, newspapers, and manuscripts, and a fresh bibliographical analysis of the work's textual transmission.
