Abstract
Jonathan Swift used the familiar material of the biographer when he wrote about Robert Harley in his propaganda pieces, in his "histories," and in his more informal writings. This essay examines these passages about Harley, often compares them to similar passages by Swift's contemporaries, and then discusses the implications of Swift's method for theorists of biography.
