Drapier's Letters is the collective name for a series of seven pamphlets written between 1724 and 1725 by the Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, Jonathan Swift, to arouse public opinion in Ireland against the imposition of a privately minted copper coinage that Swift believed to be of inferior quality. William Wood was granted letters patent to mint the coin, and Swift saw the licensing of the patent as corrupt. In response, Swift represented Ireland as constitutionally and financially independent of Britain in the Drapier's Letters. Since the subject was politically sensitive, Swift wrote under the pseudonym M. B., Drapier, to hide from retaliation.

  • Cartes d'un draper és el títol col·lectiu d'una sèrie de set pamflets escrits entre 1724 i 1725 pel degà de la catedral de Sant Patrici de Dublín, Jonathan Swift, per tal de despertar l'opinió pública irlandesa contra la imposició d'una moneda de coure privada que Swift va creure que tenia un valor inferior. William Wood havia rebut permís per encunyar la moneda; Swift va creure que la llicència de la patent era corrupta. En Cartes d'un draper, Swift presenta Irlanda com a independent de Gran Bretanya. Atès que el tema era políticament sensible, Swift el va publicar sota el pseudònim M. B., draper, per amagar-se de represàlies. (ca)

  • Les Lettres de Drapier est le nom collectif d'une série de sept pamphlets écrits entre 1724 et 1725 par le doyen de la cathédrale Saint-Patrick à Dublin, Jonathan Swift, pour soulever l'opinion publique en Irlande contre l'imposition d'une monnaie de cuivre frappée en privé que Swift pense être de qualité inférieure. William Wood a obtenu des lettres patentes pour frapper la pièce, et Swift voit la licence du brevet comme corrompue. En réponse, il représente l'Irlande comme constitutionnellement et financièrement indépendante de la Grande-Bretagne dans les « Lettres de Drapier ». Puisque le sujet est politiquement sensible, Swift écrit sous le pseudonyme MB, Drapier, pour fuir les représailles. (fr)
