Presents perspectives on the work of Jonathan Swift. The writings all explore Swift in a distinctly Irish context and consider how Swift was influenced as a member of a population that was divided against itself, colonized by a neighbouring kingdom, and politically and culturally marginalised.

This work includes the complete authoritative text with biographical & historical contexts, critical history and essays from five contemporary critical perspectives.

Swift's masterful satire is as entertaining today as it was when first published in 1726. Written with great wit and invention, Gulliver's Travels has captivated readers for nearly three centuries.
