Neither is this (yet) a comprehensive list of Swift's works. His prose and poetry fill 17 thick volumes (and his correspondence another five). I have tried scrupulously to identify any online sources of Swift's works, to list all of his significant writing, and then anything else I come across. If you are aware of items, especially those online, not listed here, please let me know via the comment form.
Items are listed chronologically, based on first publication date, where applicable. Otherwise the date written is used.
