Dublin and London to 1699
from Part I - Beginnings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 May 2020
The print worlds of of Dublin and London, in and between which Swift in print was formed, were sharply differentiated by regulation and custom. Swift’s first two printed works, one printed in each, were revealingly odd: An Ode. To the King was published by John Brent in Dublin, and Ode to the Athenian Society was published by John Dunton in London. Dunton’s The Dublin Scuffle (his account of a working visit undertaken in 1698), shows how some of the print-trade structures and individuals of Swift’s early formation (and their children, apprentices and associates) would continue to influence the long-term development of Swift in print.
