Texts by Jonathan Swift available on Internet at 2011

Note: The individual titles available at each website/venue have been listed and linked as far as possible at different dates in 2011. Since then other texts may have appeared somewhere in cyberspace and should be sought in the Works file of RICORSO or personal research. The sources themselves have been placed on this page roughly in order of brevity, placing the longest (Readonline) last for user’s convenience only. The list is not inclusive of all such sites in existence with Swift content and notably omits Internet Archive and Google Books - both of which can can be conveniently accessed with any internet browser.
  Please remember to check Swift titles in the RICORSO Library of “Irish Classics” since these are easier to access at this site than at many others, and also because their editing style is in conformity with that employed on other parts of RICORSO. All the following links were STILL active at 12.09.2011.
