Background
By 1700, Ireland was so completely dominated by England that it seemed like a conquered territory. The Catholic majority could not vote, hold public office, buy land, or receive an education. The repressive policies reduced many Irish people to poverty. When crops failed—as they did for several years during the 1720s— many faced starvation. Jonathan Swift, outraged by the injustice of England’s treatment of Ireland, penned “A Modest Proposal,” using ferocious satire to strike back at those who neglected Ireland’s poor.
