{"product_id":"9781406791686","title":"A Tale Of A Tub - (1704)","description":"This vintage book contains Jonathan Swift's 1704 satire, “A Tale of a Tub”. The first major work that he wrote, it is a prose parody about two brothers who are each representative of the chief aspects of western Christianity. It mainly deals with the ideas of religious enthusiasm, pride, and credulity. Published at a time when religion was an intrinsic aspect of politics, the work was widely condemned, with Queen Anne going as far as to call it “profane”. Contents include: “The Introduction”, “A Digression Concerning Critics”, “A Tale of a Tub”, “A Digression in the Modern Kind”, “A Tale of a Tub”, “A Digression in Praise of Digressions”, \"A Tale of a Tub”, “A Digression Concerning the Original”, “A Farther Digression”, “A Tale of a Tub”, et cetera. Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) was an Anglo-Irish essayist, satirist, poet, and cleric. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.","brand":"Pomona Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027996754160,"sku":"9781406791686","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781406791686_p0.jpg?v=1763718168","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781406791686","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
