King And Queen Gulliver Travels
1,137 wordsSwift was dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin when his novel came out. Since in this book he wrote about and often harpooned-prominent political figures, he published the book anonymously. While most readers were trying like mad to find out who the author was. Swift's close friends had fun keeping the secret. London was stunned with thoughts about the author's identity, as well as those of some of his characters. Swift's dying years were a torment. He suffered awful bouts of dizziness, nau...

Coat Of Arms Gulliver Travels

York Chelsea House Publishers Gulliver Travels
1,364 wordsMany of the critics who have critiqued Jonathan Swifts Gulliver's Travels have used the word extraneous more then once. Swift was viewed as an insane person who was a failure in life. But this is far from the truth. Swift wrote Gulliver's Travels, a book that has been assigned to students for years, and it is written from experience. Swifts experience with the Tories and their conflicts with the Whigs caused him to write books that mock religious beliefs, government, or people with views differi...

Houyhnhnms Gulliver Swift
372 wordsGulliver in Houynhnmland One of the most interesting questions about Gulliver's Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of Swifts satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact Swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dan...

Gulliver Travels Swift One
