Gulliver’s Travels

Gulliver’s Travels (1727) is Jonathan Swift’s wildly imaginative account of Lemuel Gulliver’s journey through fantastical lands. It is funny, moving and profound, a masterful satire that verges into comparative politics and anthropology. I will provide written questions to serve as starting points for our class discussions, but there is no fixed agenda or methodology for the course apart from the aim to discover whatever we can about the novel through close reading and probing conversation.
