Gulliver's Travels
Gulliver's Travels Gulliver's Travels, or Travels into Several Remote Nations of Gulliver's Travels the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a prose satire[1][2] of 1726 by the Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it". The book was an immediate success. The English dramatist John Gay remarked "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery."[3] In 2015, Robert McCrum released his selection list of 100 best novels of all time in which First edition of Gulliver's Travels [4] Gulliver's Travels is listed as "a satirical masterpiece".

Recognising the many methodologies that make up historical research, the series presents innovative and interdisciplinary work that is conceptual and interpretative, and expands and challenges the common understandings of the Irish past. It showcases new and exciting scholarship on subjects such as the history of gender, power, class, the body, landscape, memory and social and cultural change. It also reflects the diversity of Irish historical writing, since it includes titles that are empirically sophisticated together with conceptually driven synoptic studies. 1.

Eliza Haywood's Eighteenth-Century Readers in Pennsylvania and New
Eliza Haywood’s Eighteenth-Century Readers in Pennsylvania and New York Patrick Spedding HE NEW YORK SOCIETY LIBRARY (NYSL)—NEW YORK CITY ’S OLDEST LIBRARY —HAS digitized and transcribed its earliest surviving borrowing ledger, which Tdocuments the reading history of its members from July 1789 to April 1792. 1 The ledger contains information about the reading habits of five hundred NYSL members, including famous figures such as George Washington, John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. The NYSL ledgers are an extremely important source of information for book historians and literary critics, since they provide an insight into reading habits of Eliza Haywood’s eighteenth-century readers. Twenty years ago, Ronald J. Zboray demonstrated the value of the mid- nineteenth century ledgers of the NYSL for historians of Antebellum America but few scholars have explored the earlier ledgers. 2 In the following essay I provide 1 Although the ledger was found in an ‘extremely fragile condition’ in 1934, amongst rubbish at a previous library location, it was not properly restored until early this century (‘About the Ledger’—which contains links to NYSL library catalogues of 1789 and 1793, plus the supplements of 1791 and 1792). The ledger was digitised and published on the NYSL website in December 2010 (‘The New York Society Library Opens Historic Ledger to Public’). 2 Zboray’s detailed study focuses on the borrowings of 229 subscribers over two, three- year periods: 1847-49 and 1854-56. For scholarship on the borrowing (or ‘charging’) ledgers of other nineteenth-century institutions, see below. At present, the (digitised) first borrowing ledger appears to have provided material for only a single scholarly footnote (Miller 210n4). -

The British Aristocracy Torn between the House of Lords and the Mosley Movement KARINA URBACH At the height of the Nuremberg trials the British ambassador to Washington, Lord Halifax, wrote to the Duchess of Portland: 'My dearest Ivy, I am amused with you saying that some of the peers are apprehensive of being summoned to give evidence at Nuremberg.'' At a time when his fellow aristocrats were still living in fear, Halifax had already received a summons: 'Goering has requested me and Alex Cadogan to go and testify to how earnest a seeker of the peace he was up to the war.'2 Of course Halifax, the foreign secretary closely associated with appease- ment, was used to being showered by invitations from Nazis;3 yet why did other peers seriously fear that they might also be summoned to a war crimes tribunal? To this day it is difficult to estimate the number of British nobles with leanings to the radical right. -

Reworkings in the Textual History of Gulliver's Travels: a Translational
Reworkings in the textual history of Gulliver’s Travels: a translational approach Alice Colombo The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth August 2013 ii ABSTRACT On 28 October 1726 Gulliver’s Travels debuted on the literary scene as a political and philosophical satire meant to provoke and entertain an audience of relatively educated and wealthy British readers. Since then, Swift’s work has gradually evolved, assuming multiple forms and meanings while becoming accessible and attractive to an increasingly broad readership in and outside Britain. My study emphasises that reworkings, including re-editions, translations, abridgments, adaptations and illustrations, have played a primary role in this process. Its principal aim is to investigate how reworkings contributed to the popularity of Gulliver’s Travels by examining the dynamics and the stages through which they transformed its text and its original significance. Central to my research is the assumption that this transformation is largely the result of shifts of a translational nature and that, therefore, the analysis of reworkings and the understanding of their role can greatly benefit from the models of translation description devised in Descriptive Translation Studies. The reading of reworkings as entailing processes of translation shows how derivative creations operate collaboratively to ensure literary works’ continuous visibility and actively shape the literary polysystem. The study opens with an exploration of existing approaches to reworkings followed by an examination of the characteristics which exposed Gulliver’s Travels to continuous rethinking and reworking. Emphasis is put on how the work’s satirical significance gave rise to a complex early textual problem for which Gulliver’s Travels can be said to have debuted on the literary scene as a derivative production in the first place. -
