    Asked on March 15, 2021 in Single word requests.Jonathan Swift’s Modest Proposal is a famous example of an essay written from a perspective that is not the author’s own.

- a generally humorous or sardonic literary style known as a “judicial and
 ironic criticism of contemporary persons and institutions that is filled with personal invective, angry moral indignation, and pessimism. If a newbie came here and asked a question about “at least fling you off-set?” She did not but seemed to pass the point of view (you may not have realized, but if you did, please excuse me). - 896258 views
