A Tale of a Tub

Title page of the fifth edition, 1710, with the added Notes and Apology for the &c.

Woodcut from the Tale demonstrating the three stages of human endeavour: the gallows, the theatre, and the pulpit.

A Tale of a Tub was the first major work written by Jonathan Swift, arguably his most difficult satire and perhaps his most masterly. The Tale is a prose parody divided into sections each delving into the morals and ethics of English. Composed between 1694 and 1697, it was eventually published in 1704. It was long regarded as a satire on religion, and has famously been attacked for that, starting with William Wotton.
