'Gulliver's Travels' author Jonathan Swift was born in what country?

Jonathan Swift (30 November 1667 – 19 October 1745) was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for the Whigs, then for the Tories), poet and cleric who became Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin.

Jonathan Swift was the second child and only son of Jonathan Swift (1640–1667) and his wife Abigail Erick. His father died just two months before he was born.

Swift is remembered for works such as 'A Tale of a Tub' (1704), 'An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity' (1712),' Gulliver's Travels' (1726), and 'A Modest Proposal' (1729). He is regarded by the Encyclopædia Britannica as the foremost prose satirist in the English language, and is less well known for his poetry. He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms (such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, the Drapier) or anonymously.
