Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift

Swift writes: "The author of these Travels, Mr. Lemuel Gulliver, is my ancient and intimate friend; there is likewise some relation between us on the mother's side." Gulliver's Historico-Tropological Journey "Gulliver's function as a measuring stick is metonymic: he comes from the British worldostensibly the land of the Realand so the British reader feels he can be used to establish differences between the Real and the fantasy worlds he visits." "After the publication of the first edition of his book Gulliver wrote to his cousin concerning his cousin's handling of the manuscript. What follows is an excerpt from this letter, which prefaced the later editions of 'Gulliver's Travels.'"

http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/swift.htm
Jonathan Swift, 1667-1745
Famous Irish poet, pamphleteer, satirist and wit of Augustan Age. He was educated (more or less) at Trinity College, Dublin. In the aftermath of the 1689 Jacobite rebellion in Ireland, Swift found shelter in England, under the auspices of Sir William Temple, a prominent diplomat and statesman. Swift served as secretary to Temple for the next ten years. In the process, he earned his M.A. at Oxford, was ordained into the Episcopalian Church of Ireland and was charged with the tutorship of Temple's young ward, Esther Johnson, a.k.a. "Stella". After Temple died in 1699, Swift moved back to Ireland, working at various posts in the Church. In 1704, two satirical pieces Tale of the Tub and Battle of the Books earned him some renown (and some enemies). Returning to England intermittently, he became intimate with the Augustan wits and literary men of the day Addison, Steele, Pope and Congreve. Although a lifelong supporter of the Whigs, the growing chasm between Whigs and the Church led Swift, in 1708, to launch a series of pamphlet attacks on the Whigs. By 1710, Swift had switched over the Tories completely and put his skills at their disposal. Swift took over The Examiner , a Tory rag, and, with a couple of 1711 pamphlets, helped turn to the tide of English public opinion against the "Whig" War of Spanish Succession.

Irish author and journalist, dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral (Dublin) from 1713, the foremost prose satirist in English language. Swift became insane in his last years, but until his death he was known as Dublin's foremost citizen. Among Swift's best known works is Gulliver's Travels (1726), where the stories of Gulliver's experiences among dwarfs and giants are best known. Swift gave to these journeys an air of authenticity and realism and many contemporary readers believed them to be true. "They look upon fraud as a greater crime than theft, and therefore seldom fail to punish it with death; for they alledge, that care and vigilante, with a very common understanding, may preserve a man's goods from thieves; but honesty hat no fence against superior cunning: and since it is necessary that there should be a perpetual intercourse of buying and selling, and dealing upon credit; where fraud is permitted or connived at, or hath no Law to punish it, the honest dealer is always undone and the knave gets the advantage." (from Gulliver's Travels: 'A Voyage to Lilliput') "As the common forms of good manners were intended for regulating the conduct of those who have weak understandings; so they have been corrupted by the persons for whose use they were contrived. For these people have fallen into a needless and endless way of multiplying ceremonies, which have been extremely troublesome to those who practice them, and insupportable to everyone else: insomuch that wise men are often more uneasy at the over civility of these refiners, than they could possibly be in the conversations of peasants or mechanics."

Swift, Jonathan
Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Irish-born author who gained notoriety and political influence as a sharp-witted satirist. His most famous work, Gulliver's Travels , followed the journeys of a character named Lemuel Gulliver through the imaginary lands of the Lilliputians (pygmies), the Brobdingnags (giants), and the Houyhnhnms (an ultra-rational society of horses) who ruled over the cretin Yahoos (an uncivilized, humanlike race). Other satires included A Modest Proposal (which ironically suggested that the British eat their own children) and The Battle of the Books (which poked fun at literary critics). Many Swiftian words have become integrated into the English language. When something is "of Lilliputian proportions" it is very, very small; referring to someone as a "Yahoo" implies that they lack manners and behave badly. Yahoo, incidentally, is also the name of the most famous World Wide Web directory, housed and maintained at Stanford University! use your browser's "back" function to return to the text

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745):
Hints Towards An Essay On Conversation, 1713
Introductory Note In Swift's writings here printed will be found good examples of his treatment of social and literary questions. The ironical humor running through this essay frequently became, when he dealt with subjects on which he felt keenly, incredibly savage and at times extremely coarse; but for the power of his invective and the effectiveness of his sarcasm there is hardly a parallel in the language. The Essay - Hints Towards An Essay On Conversation I have observed few obvious subjects to have been so seldom, or, at least, so slightly handled as this; and, indeed, I know few so difficult to be treated as it ought, nor yet upon which there seemeth so much to be said. I was prompted to write my thoughts upon this subject by mere indignation, to reflect that so useful and innocent a pleasure, so fitted for every period and condition of life, and so much in all men's power, should be so much neglected and abused. And in this discourse it will be necessary to note those errors that are obvious, as well as others which are seldomer observed, since there are few so obvious, or acknowledged, into which most men, some time or other, are not apt to run.

[Back To Fiction Writers] Jonathan Swift
Fatherless from the beginning of his life, and motherless for some of his crucial formative years, Swift, although he had political ambitions earlier on, settled for being the Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Ireland. There are those (I suppose I should be counted among them) who concluded Swift was a neurotic with a "excremental vision." Swift claimed to "hate and detest that animal called man," but to "heartly love John, Peter, Thomas, and so forth." He was buried beneath the Latin epitaph he composed himself, which in English reads: "He has gone where savage indignation can lacerate his heart no more." Swift's most famous work, of course, was Gullivers Travels , or, as it is more formally known, Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, by Lemuel Gulliver ; it is a satiric masterpiece; it satirizes man's abuse of human reason as reflected in his political, social and academic institutions; at best, man is foolish; at worst, he is nothing more than an ape; ... it is a bitter denunciation of mankind; ... [a reflection] on man's corruption of his highest attribute, reason." ( Benet's Swift's works are available on the 'NET
