Now regarded as one of the best satires ever written, “A Modest Proposal” demonstrates the effectiveness (and complications) of irony and “shock humour,” the dangers of a detached ruling elite, and the inhumanity of modern decision-making based exclusively on numbers and data. 🧵(4/6)

The James Joyce Centre @jamesjoycecentre.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
The essay caused a sensation in Ireland and Great Britain. Swift’s intention was to raise awareness of the dire poverty in Ireland and the apathy the British ruling class had towards the population. 🧵(3/6)

The James Joyce Centre @jamesjoycecentre.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
The essay goes into great detail about how such as scheme could be implemented, its social and economic benefits, and even the ways the babies could be prepared. “A young healthy child,” he writes, “is a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled.” 🧵(2/6)

The James Joyce Centre @jamesjoycecentre.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
“A Modest Proposal” is arguably Jonathan Swift’s most infamous work. Published in 1729, the satirical essay argues that the best solution to the poverty and overpopulation of Ireland was for the poor to sell their babies as food to the wealthy. 🧵(1/6)

Did you know that Jonathan Swift founded the first mental hospital in Ireland? When Swift passed away in 1745, he left an endowment for the establishment of a mental hospital in Dublin. Since then, St. Patrick's Hospital has become Ireland’s largest non-profit mental health service. 🧵1/2
