Swift and Wharton dialogue reveals tactful power plays
An editorial extract contrasts Swift with Wharton in a Cork Examiner review. It sketches a ghostly Swift addressing the viceroy, noting Wharton’s sharp, pompous presence and a tense exchange about English preferment. The piece blends portraiture with political maneuvering and laments Spain’s robbery system.
