Jonathan Swift's first major prose satire uses an allegory of three brothers (representing the Roman Catholic, Anglican and Dissenting churches) to lampoon religious corruption and factionalism, interwoven with mock-scholarly digressions satirising pedantry and "modern" learning. Written in the 1690s and published anonymously in 1704, it remains one of the great works of English prose satire, predating the fame Swift would later find with "Gulliver's Travels" and "A Modest Proposal".
