The journal to Stella
Letters to Esther Johnson and Rebecca Dingley, 1710–1713
Book • 1901
The Journal to Stella comprises 65 letters from Jonathan Swift to his close friend Esther Johnson, affectionately called Stella, and her companion Rebecca Dingley, covering the years 1710-1713.
These letters blend political commentary on Tory figures like Harley and St. John, personal reflections, daily life in London, and tender exchanges in Swift's 'little language' of affection.
They reveal Swift's deep emotional bond with Stella, his loneliness amid political excitement, and vivid insights into early 18th-century society.
