Read the text and answer the questions 1, 2 and3.
One of the most well-known satirists in English literature, Jonathan Swift was born on November 30, 1667 eight months after his fatherâs death. When he was just three years old, his mother returned to her relatives in England, leaving him in the care of an uncle. At the age of fourteen he was sent to Trinity College in Dublin. He graduated in 1686 from that college and went to England the same year.
Swiftâs uncle died in 1688 and Swift was now left to live on his own effort. In the following year, he was offered as a literary assistant of Sir William Temple, a retired diplomat. During 1696-99, he became secretary to the Earl of Berkeley. His book âGulliverâs Travelsâ appeared in 1726 which was an instant success. The last years of Swiftâs life were full of sadness. He was mostly ill but was active most of 1730. It was only after his stroke in 1739 he retired and the end of his life came six month after his stroke. He was buried in St. Patrickâs Cathedral by the side of Stella Jhonson who had died in 1728. |
