Synopsis

A Modest Proposalis written byJonathan Swift, an Anglo-Irish writer, satirist and political pamphleteer. This most controversial satirical essay was written and published anonymously by the author, when Ireland was in deep trouble and the streets were full of beggars of female genre, who were unable to feed their children.
Ireland which was ruled by England then, did not bother to listen to the poor Ireland people were dying in starvation. The author proposes satirically to sell the babies when they were one year old to the rich and fortunate people to eat them as a meat. Babies to be sold in the flesh market and can be eaten when they are chubby, tender and fresh.
The author went on to provide statistical records for his proposal on how this modest proposal will be Preventing the Children of Poor People From Being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public.
