    Preliminary Material -- CHAPTER ONE: KRONOS: THE END OF ALL -- CHAPTER TWO: TOLAND: MYSTERIOUS REASON -- CHAPTER THREE: MARSH AND BROWNE: ASS AND RIDER -- CHAPTER FOUR: MILTON: CONSCIENCE FREE -- CHAPTER FIVE: SHAFTESBURY: VIRTUE TRAMPLED -- CHAPTER SIX: HARRINGTON: MANY AGAINST THE BALANCE -- CHAPTER SEVEN: TEMPLE AND THE SENTINELS OF EDEN -- CHAPTER EIGHT: PARACELSUS: ASTRAL CHEMISTRY -- CHAPTER NINE: NEWTON: MILLENNIAL MECHANICS -- CHAPTER TEN: SWIFT: SATURNINE MELANCHOLY -- WORKS CITED -- INDEX. Casting aside critical shibboleths in place for centuries, Kenneth Craven's Jonathan Swift and the Millennium of Madness proposes a new view of intellectual history. This revisionary study documents Swift's intimate knowledge of seventeenth-century science from Bacon and the Invisible College at Oxford to the Newtonian synthesis within the context of Paracelsian medicine and the chemical-mechanical split. Craven shows that Swift joins the philosophies of a neoplatonic divine order, Epicurean atomism, the Reformation, and scientific millenarianism as permeating his time with millennial myths sure eventually to detonate the sense of composure of individuals and societies. In contradistinction, Swift elucidates links between the humors traditions in medicine and literature, saturnine melancholy and the dreaming god Kronos. He proposes the somber realism of the Kronos myth as providing awareness of the self-imposed restraints on ego needed to preclude the proliferation of modern information systems into trivialization of the human enterprise to meaninglessness. This fresh and exhaustive examination of the Anglo-Irish writer's first masterpiece, A Tale of a Tub (1704) unlocks barriers to seeing the nature of Swift's complex integrity, passion, and literary achievements throughout a career studded with disappointments. Specifically, this study authoritatively reveals the identity of unnamed victims of Swift's satire as the deist John Toland and his republican hero, John Milton, for their advocacy of the Puritan Revolution and regicide; Toland's mentor John Locke and another Lockean disciple, Lord Shaftesbury, who confused happiness and self-interest with delusion and the public weal; and his tormentors in the Church of Ireland, Narcissus Marsh and Peter Browne
