Gulliver's Travels

<p>Is <em>Gulliver’s Travels</em> just a whimsical children’s adventure story, or is it a scathing satire designed to expose political hypocrisy?</p><p>From suppressed Irish resistance allegories to biting parodies of Whig corruption, Enlightenment science, and moral decay, <em>Gulliver</em>&#39;s author Jonathan Swift transformed personal exile into a profound critique of human nature.</p><p>To mark the 300th anniversary of <em>Gulliver’s Travels</em>, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Professor David Womersley to unmask the &quot;savage indignation,&quot; political turmoil, and risk of censorship that drove Swift’s writing.</p><br><p><strong>More:</strong></p><p><strong>C.S.
