Published in 1704, this prose satire by the author of Gulliver's Travels consists of a story of three brothers, each representing a Christian sect, and a series of digressions. The "tale" portion ridicules the conflicts between religious factions, and the digressions parody contemporary trends in literature, politics, and theology. Acerbic in style and exuberantly witty, A Tale of a Tub ranks among Swift's best allegories.
