KIRK SpLENDIDE MeNDAX—HOBAOB PHILADELPHIA AND LONDON J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY _ ^ ^^o COP7RIOHT, 1 91 8, BY J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY PRINTED BY J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY AT THE WASHINGTON SQUARE PRESS PHILADELPHIA, U.S.A. INTRODUCTION Befoke becoming absorbed in these wondrous adventures of Gulliver, please give just a few min- utes to making tlie acquaintance of the man behind the book, Dr. Jonathan Swift, or '^Dean Swift,*' for this is the title by which he is better known. You will realize that any kind of lecture or ad- dress, no matter how fine it might be, would lose half its interest if it were delivered through a phono- graph instead of coming straight from the lips of the lecturer. And this is the same with a book if we know nothing about its maker. Well, you may think of Jonathan Swift as having a very bright mind with keen sense of humor, but a sharp tongue which was always getting him into trouble. He was too apt to ** look on the dark side ' of things, ' as the saying is, but perhaps the unhappy circumstances of his birth had much to do with this fault. Born in Dublin, Ireland, November 30, 1667 ; sad to relate, he never saw his father, who had passed away only a short time before. This loss so affected the boy's early life that as his birthday anniversaries came around he was never willing to make merry like other children, but was especially gloomy on those days. 3 4 INTEODUCTION After the present war is over, if you should go to Dublin you may see the house where the author of *' Gulliver's Travels'' first saw the light; and then if you also visit the little town of Kilkenny—where those famous but cruel cat-fights of the Hessians took place so long ago—you will find in an old school- house the name of Jonathan Swift carved on his desk by his own hand. To us in the United States it seems strange to find these things preserved for over two hundred years and in good condition, but in those older lands this is not unusual. After his school course at Kilkenny, Swift re- turned to Dublin and entered the University, where, in honesty it must be admitted, he failed to win any honors. It was only by special favor that he ob- tained his degree of Bachelor of Arts. College ended. Swift now stayed at the home of Sir William Temple, a relative of his mother's and an accomplished scholar. There Swift met *^high society," even royalty itself. The story goes that it was King William III who taught him the Dutch way of eating asparagus, that is, to eat both head and stalk. The new connection seemed to spur the youth's ambition to study, and after a time he determined to enter the Church of England. He was later ap- pointed Dean of Kilroot, where he remained until he ; INTRODUCTION 5 met a brother clergyman whom he thought needed it more than he did ; so he resigned in his favor. Then he went back to Sir William Temple as his secretary, but after a time changed back again to the Church, and it was after this return, in 1701, that he published his first work, an Essay on the Dissen- tions in Athens and Rome, This was followed by Tale of a Tub and numerous other books. In 1727 ^^ Gulliver's Travels'' was published and aroused a storm of applause. It was admired by people generally for its entertaining story, and poli- ticians were delighted at its clever satire on the times—with the many sly allusions to prominent people. Now having given you this very brief account of the writer, we leave you to enjoy the wild adven- tures of Gulliver the sailor, first in Lilliput, the land of pygmies, **who were never higher than six inches their tallest trees the size of an average man and the town itself looking like the painted scene of a city on a theatre stage.'' Judge, then, of the contrast when he went from there to Brobdingnag, where lived giants and where a cat was three times the size of an ox and purred so loud that Gulliver thought the sound came from a mill wheel.

  • A Comment Upon Satire in Gulliver's Travels
    Warren Tall man SWIFT'S FOOL: A Comment upon Satire in Gulliver's Travels To APPROACH THE GULLIVER scENE in search of satire is to approach a place of seem­ ing wonders which become increasingly unwonderful the more closely they are examined. lntensifications, exaggerations, and distortions are jammed like so many gouging knees and elbows into what is only seemingly a conventionally spaced world. The narrative appears to open out ordinary time-space vistas as Gulliver journeys across many years to some far-away places. But all that extent is illusion. Measured by paragraph space and reading time, the scene is crowded as in few other books, with Brobdingnag seven months and thousands of sea-going miles from Lilliput by narrative measure but actually five paragraphs and several reading min­ utes away. This crowding- practised throughout-makes Gulliver's Travels some­ thing like some of those equally crowded and similarly distorted scenes that Breughel painted-Mad Maggie, for example. That Maggie strides through Breughel's paint­ ing with the same rapt intensity that characterizes Gulliver reminds us that there is a madness loose in Swift's book which gathers force as it closes in and finally over­ whelms poor Lemuel. Yet to enter the scene on the lookout fo r the madness is to meet, instead, miraculous clarity of control. All the seeming ease with which Swift moves Gulli­ ver through the constantly shifting multiplicities of each new moment argue.~ obvious mastery. His simple-seeming language is actually so plastic that the intri­ cate oddities of the place reach the reader as straight-forward documentation by Honest-John Gu\liver, who not only believes that all he says is Gospel but writes that way too.
