From this only a short step back to 's device in the academy of Laputa in "Gulliver's Travels".

"Every one knew how laborious the usual method is of attaining to arts and sciences; whereas, by his contrivance, the most ignorant person, at a reasonable charge, and with a little bodily labour, might write books in philosophy, poetry, politics, laws, mathematics, and theology, without the least assistance from genius or study.โ€

DEPARTMENT OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES

โ€œFalsehood flies and the truth comes limping after it; so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale has had its effect.โ€ ~ Dr Jonathan Swift

Now a couple of less well known things about . He was intensely religious and among his religious writings was a tale, "Love and Religion Demonstrated in the Martyrdom of Theodora, and of Didymus".

Handel made it into an opera, "Theodora". Listen here: youtu.be/pe2AIay_Yy8

Earlier this year, I took a look at a problem that's been puzzling me for a long time: Why is Frances, Duchess of Tyrconnell (the Jacobite Duchess) buried in so fine a location in St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, and just how involved was Jonathan Swift in making this happen. My tentative conclusions are here: livesalemstate-my.sharepoint.c.
