Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's travels

About this book

"Taking the form of a sourcebook, this guide to Swift's controversial novel offers: extensive introductory comment on the contexts and many interpretations of the text, from publication to the present; annotated extracts from key contextual documents, reviews, critical works and the text itself; cross-references between documents and sections of the guide, in order to suggest links between texts, contexts and criticism; and suggestions for further reading." "Part of the Routledge Guides to Literature series, this volume is essential reading for all those beginning detailed study of Gulliver's Travels and seeking not only a guide to the novel, but also a way through the wealth of contextual and critical material that surrounds Swift's text."--Jacket.
