The following is compiled from
many different sources and represents an assortment of Jonathan
Swift's work: poetry and prose,
longer and shorter pieces, significant and trivial, published and
unpublished writings. Consequently,
it is difficult to present such a range of items -- from the unpublished,
one-page "When I Come to Be Old" to the 20 volume Works -- consistently
or evenly.
Items are listed chronologically,
based on first publication date, where applicable. Otherwise the
date written is used.
