Jonathan Swift

Gulliver’s Travels

Four “books”—four voyages:

    Lilliput
    Brobdingnag
    Laputa
    Houyhnhnms
Jonathan Swift

Gulliver’s Travels is a parody of the genre of “travel narrative”
During the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these tales of
     voyages of exploration and colonial adventure were extremely
     popular:

    Christopher Columbus
    Amerigo Vespucci (for whom “America” is named)
    Sir Walter Raleigh
    Captain John Smith



More’s Utopia also parodies the genre, and Shakespeare’s The Tempest
    invokes the genre

Travel narratives are often sometimes “utopian”—Book IV of Gulliver’s
    Travels also parodies More’s Utopia
Jonathan Swift

Lemuel Gulliver’s four voyages can be seen as a satirical exploration of
the human condition: What does it mean to be a human being?

The name “Gulliver” may suggest that he is “gullible”

Gulliver’s first voyage, to Lilliput:
Gulliver encounters a land of tiny people. According to Stuart Sherman,
editor of the Longman Anthology of British Literature Vol. 1c:

    The diminutive citizens of Lilliput represent human small-mindedness
    and petty ambitions. Filled with self-importance, they Lilliputians are
    cruel, treacherous, malicious and destructive.

                                           (Longman Anthology, p. 2531)
Jonathan Swift

Gulliver’s second voyage, to Brobdingnag, a land of giants:

In Brobdingnag Gulliver is reduced to the size of a Lilliputian.
According to Stuart Sherman:

    He is humbled by his own helplessness and, finding the huge bodies
    of the Brobdingnagians grotesque, he realizes how repulsive the
    Lilliputians must have found him. When Gulliver gives the wise king
    of Brobdingnag an account of the political affairs of England—which
    manifest hypocrisy, avarice and hatred—the enlightened monarch
    concludes that most of the country’s inhabitants must be “the most
    pernicious race of little odious vermin that Nature ever suffered to
    crawl upon the face of the Earth.”

                             (Longman Anthology, p. 2531)
Jonathan Swift

Sherman concludes:

   Throughout Gulliver’s Travels that which is admirable is held up to
   expose corruption in the reader’s world, and that which is deplorable
   is identified with the institutions and practices of contemporary
   Europe, particularly Britain.
   ...
   With brilliantly modulated ironic self-awareness, Swift’s painful
   comedy of exposure to the truth of human frailty demonstrates that
   there is no room for the distortions of human pride in a world where
   our practices are so evidently at variance with our principles. Swift
   advances no program of social reform, but provokes a new
   recognition—literally, a re-thinking—of our own humanity.

                            (Longman Anthology, p. 2531)

  • 9. Jonathan Swift Gulliver’s Travels Four “books”—four voyages: Lilliput Brobdingnag Laputa Houyhnhnms
  • 10. Jonathan Swift Gulliver’s Travels is a parody of the genre of “travel narrative” During the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these tales of voyages of exploration and colonial adventure were extremely popular: Christopher Columbus Amerigo Vespucci (for whom “America” is named) Sir Walter Raleigh Captain John Smith More’s Utopia also parodies the genre, and Shakespeare’s The Tempest invokes the genre Travel narratives are often sometimes “utopian”—Book IV of Gulliver’s Travels also parodies More’s Utopia
  • 11. Jonathan Swift Lemuel Gulliver’s four voyages can be seen as a satirical exploration of the human condition: What does it mean to be a human being? The name “Gulliver” may suggest that he is “gullible” Gulliver’s first voyage, to Lilliput: Gulliver encounters a land of tiny people. According to Stuart Sherman, editor of the Longman Anthology of British Literature Vol. 1c: The diminutive citizens of Lilliput represent human small-mindedness and petty ambitions. Filled with self-importance, they Lilliputians are cruel, treacherous, malicious and destructive. (Longman Anthology, p. 2531)
  • 12. Jonathan Swift Gulliver’s second voyage, to Brobdingnag, a land of giants: In Brobdingnag Gulliver is reduced to the size of a Lilliputian. According to Stuart Sherman: He is humbled by his own helplessness and, finding the huge bodies of the Brobdingnagians grotesque, he realizes how repulsive the Lilliputians must have found him. When Gulliver gives the wise king of Brobdingnag an account of the political affairs of England—which manifest hypocrisy, avarice and hatred—the enlightened monarch concludes that most of the country’s inhabitants must be “the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that Nature ever suffered to crawl upon the face of the Earth.” (Longman Anthology, p. 2531)
  • 13. Jonathan Swift Sherman concludes: Throughout Gulliver’s Travels that which is admirable is held up to expose corruption in the reader’s world, and that which is deplorable is identified with the institutions and practices of contemporary Europe, particularly Britain. ... With brilliantly modulated ironic self-awareness, Swift’s painful comedy of exposure to the truth of human frailty demonstrates that there is no room for the distortions of human pride in a world where our practices are so evidently at variance with our principles. Swift advances no program of social reform, but provokes a new recognition—literally, a re-thinking—of our own humanity. (Longman Anthology, p. 2531)
