A Modest Proposal Jonathan Swift – To ease poverty in Ireland by eating the children of the poor was the satirical ‘solution’ suggested by Jonathan Swift in his essay ‘A Modest Proposal’ (1729). Here Swift unleashes the full power of his ironic armoury and corrosive wit, finding his targets – the British ruling class and avaricious landlords, and the brutalized Irish, complicit in their own oppression – with deadly precision.
