A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift

This is a satirical essay, written in 1729. It is a bitter attack on the poverty of Irish Roman Catholics under the rule of Protestant England. Its full title is "A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People from Being a Burden to their Parents, or the Country, and for Making them Beneficial to the Public."
Swift’s shocking proposal is intended to arouse disgust against the English government’s lack of concern for the starving children of Ireland.
