Jonathan Swift and St. Patrick's Cathedral
Jonathan Swift, the great Irish writer, satirist, and Church of Ireland priest, became Dean of St. Patrick's in 1713. He became a champion of the Irish poor who lived in miserable tenement conditions all around the Cathedral. His association with the Cathedral is evident throughout its structure.
