Born in [[Dublin]] to English parents, he moved to [[England]] in 1688 to become secretary to Sir William Temple. He took [[Anglican]] holy orders but did not obtain promotion.
 His ''Tale of the Tub'' and ''The Battle of the Books'' were both published in 1704. At first he was interested in [[Whigs|Whig]] politics but he became a [[Tory]] in 1710 and proceeded to write powerful tracts such as ''Conduct of the Allies'' (1711). In 1714 he returned to [[Ireland]] as Dean of St. Patrick's and was followed by his devoted female friends Hester Johnson (the Stella of his ''Journal'') and Esther Vanhomrigh (the Vanessa of his poetry).

 In Dublin he wrote some of his best and most famous works, including ''[[Gulliver's Travels]]'' (1726), ''[[A Modest Proposal]]'' (1729) and the ''Drapier's Letters'' (1724-5).  Authorship of his works is sometimes assigned to his professional title of  '''Dean Swift'''.
