Exploring themes of religious enthusiasm, pride, and credulity, this satire features two brothers symbolizing key aspects of western Christianity. Set against a politically charged religious backdrop, it faced significant backlash, even being labeled "profane" by Queen Anne. The work includes various digressions and a structured narrative that critiques contemporary religious practices. As Swift's first major work, it showcases his sharp wit and insight into the societal norms of his time. This edition offers a modern perspective with a new introduction.
