Summary "Irish Wit and Humor" by Anonymous is a collection of anecdotal biographies and humorous tales centered around notable Irish personalities, written during the late 19th century. The book features prominent figures such as Jonathan Swift, John Philpot Curran, Arthur O'Leary, and Daniel O'Connell, delving into their lives and showcasing their wit through amusing anecdotes and anecdotes reflecting their character and humor. The opening portion of the book introduces Jonathan Swift, providing insights into his early life, some unusual events surrounding his childhood, and tales that highlight his sharp wit. Examples include his mischievous writing of a mock marriage certificate under an oak tree and an amusing grace he offered at a dinner, which serves to illustrate his unconventional humor and the entertaining dynamics of his social interactions. Furthermore, anecdotes about his interactions with various figures and his perceptive observations on politics and society lay the groundwork for understanding Swift's impactful influence on literature and Irish satire.
