      - 1699
        
        Temple died and Swift completed the task of editing and publishing his memoirs
        
        He was very disappointed that he hadn't found a suitable place in England.
        For this reason he accepted the post of Anglican minister in a small parish
        
        1704
        
        He publishes anonymously two of his most interesting satires
        
        A tale of a Tub: was a popular success but criticised by the Church of England. Apparently it was a criticism of religion but Swift meant it as a parody of pride
        
        The Battle of books: was a satire. It critics the bad quality of modern literature and it praises classical literature
        
        1710
        
        Swift spent the 18th century in England
        
        From 1710 he lived permanently in London, working as a leading Tory pamphleteer
        
        1713
        
        Swift returned to Ireland where he becomes dean at St Patrick's Chatedral.
        
        He began to write what would become his best-know work
        
        1726
        
        He finished the manuscript and went to London
        
        where his work was published as:
        "Travels into Several Remote Nation of the World, in Four Parts".
        More simply as "Gulliver's traverls"
        
        1742
