The project aims to supplement the ongoing Cambridge University Press
print edition of the works of Jonathan Swift by providing an online, searchable archive of all authoritative variant prose texts, with introductory essays.
Copies of the texts are obtained from Cambridge University Library or the
Bodleian Library and are then electronically rekeyed with a basic xml
mark-up.
