Making a "Nusance": Confronting Interpretation in Swift and Mandeville

Abstract: 

Comparing Swift and Mandeville as literary writers offers a representative sample of opposing responses to emergent interpretative practices in 1710/1711. This paper argues for Mandeville’s literariness and suggests how each writer is representative of his respective religious and political cadre.
