TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE, LONDON. GULLIVER'S TRAVELS BY JONATHAN SWIFT EDITED BY G. RAVENSCROFT DENNIS, B.A. Lond. LONDON GEORGE BELL AND SONS 1899 PREFACE " " text of the present edition of Gulliver's Travels THEis the result of a careful collation of all the early editions. Since Hawkesworth published his edition in the middle of the last century the text has been strangely neglected. Scott's edition differs from Hawkesworth's only in its additional inaccuracies and misprints, and one or other of these editions has been used almost invariably in reprints of the work. Yet Hawkesworth is anything but a trustworthy editor. He does not hesitate to alter his text where he thinks it requires correction, and his version pre- sents numerous slight variations for which no authority can be found. In the Introduction an account is given of the large " paper copy of the first edition of Gulliver," which belonged to Swift's friend, Charles Ford, and is now in the Forster Collection at South Kensington. The numerous alterations and additions made by Ford in this copy were taken from Swift's own list of corrections, and have all been adopted in the present edition. Besides the first and second editions, Faulkner's issue (Dublin, 1735), and the fourth and fifth editions (1742 and 1747) have been compared. Of these Faulkner's is not trustworthy, and the fourth and fifth editions, though said to be "corrected," have no specific authority. The variation in the different editions is so considerable, rather in quantity than quality, that it was found impossible to give every reading in the notes. This has, however, been done in a large number of cases, and Vlll PREFACE always where there was any doubt as to which version should be followed. " " A complete commentary on Gulliver would have been beyond the scope of this edition, but it is hoped that the historical and other notes will enable the ordinary reader to understand the allusions in the text. The geographical notes were suggested by some interesting remarks on the subject " by Sir Henry Craik in his Selections from Swift." For the rest, acknowledgment must be made of valuable help derived from the editions of Sir Walter Scott, Dr. J. F. Waller, and Dr. W. Cooke Taylor. The latter, published in 1840, with Grandville's illustrations, is the handsomest as well as the most learned that has yet appeared. Taylor's notes are admirable; it is surprising, however, to find that he had so little respect for the text that he did not scruple to alter, distort, or add to the opening sentences of nearly every chapter, in order to begin with the same letter as the French edition, for which Grandville's pictorial initial letters were originally designed. The more recent illus- trated editions are all expurgated to a very considerable extent, though the publishers do not seem to consider it their duty to mention the fact. The editor's thanks are due to Mr. F. Victor Dickins for the note on "trampling on the crucifix" (p. 225), to Mr. W. Spencer Jackson for much bibliographical research, and to Mr. Temple Scott for assistance and advice on many points. The portrait of Gulliver, the facsimiles of title-pages, and the maps and diagrams, have been reproduced from the large paper copy of the first edition in the British Museum. G. R. D.

A Voyage to the Country of the Houy- hnhnms 229 INTRODUCTION T^HE first edition of "Gulliver's Travels" was published -L in 1726, but we know that Swift was at work upon the book for many years previously. He caught the first hint, no doubt, at the meetings of the Scriblerus Club, in 1714, when, in conjunction with Pope, Gay, and Arbuthnot, he conceived the idea of writing a complete satire on the abuses of learning, to be comprised in the life and writings of Martinus Scriblerus. The Club, which was joined by Oxford, Bolingbroke, and Parnell, was dispersed, after a short existence, on the death of Queen Anne, and the " fragmentary Memoirs of Scriblerus," the work mainly of Arbuthnot and Pope, were not published till 1741. Swift probably intended "Gulliver" to form part of the "Me- moirs," in whichj indeed, the travels of Scriblerus are identified with those of Gulliver.^ But when the original scheme fell through and the friends were separated, the project of writing a satire in the guise of a book of travels, though put aside for the time, was not forgotten by Swift. As his cynicism and misanthropy grew upon him, the idea appealed to him more and more. A passage at the end of the work" suggests that it was begun about 1720. In " January, 1721, Bolingbroke writes: I long to see your ' ' " Travels and in an ; undated letter, written probably in 1720,^ Miss Vanhomrigh shows that she has seen part, at least, of the manuscript. After describing an assembly of "ladies and beaux" whose "forms and features were very " like those of baboons and monkeys," she continues, One ^ " Memoirs of Scriblerus," chap. xiii. - "Voyage to the Ilouyhnhnms," chap, xi., p. 301. It would be characteristic of Swift to date his hero's movements his own. See " by Mr. Leslie Stephen's article in the Dictionary of National Biography." ^ "Swift's Works," ed. Scott, 1824, vol. xix., p. 375. Xll INTRODUCTION of these animals snatched my fan, and was so pleased with me that it seized me with such a panic that I apprehended nothing less than being carried up to the top of the house ^ and served as a friend of yours was." A few years later " " ' writes : Your travels I hear much of Pope ; and Boling- " broke addresses a letter to Swift, Pope, and Gay, as the three Yahoos of Twickenham.^ Although the authorship of the book was perfectly well known, at least in the wide circle of Swift's friends, it was pubhshed anonymously, on October 28th, 1726, by Benjamin Motte,* and a considerable amount of mystery was " " attached to its production. Motte," writes Pope," received the copy, he tells me, he knew not from whence, nor from whom, dropped at his house in the dark from a hackney coach. By computing the time I found it was after you left England, so for my part I suspend my judgment." It pleased Swift's friends to humour his anonymity and keep up an affectation of ignorance on the matter. As a matter of fact, there seems to be no doubt that Pope was re- sponsible for the negotiations with the publisher, though he employed Erasmus Lewis as a go-between. In a letter to Pulteney, written some years afterwards, Swift says that he never " got a farthing by anything he wrote, except once, about eight years ago, and that was by Mr. Pope's prudent management for me."^ ^ See "Voyage to Brobdingnag," p. 124. ^ Pope to Swift, September 14th, 1725. ^ July 23rd, 1726. * " The following advertisement appeared in "The Daily Journal of October 28th, 1726. " Tills Day is Published Travels into several remote Nations of the World. By Lemuel first a Gulliver, Surgeon, afterwards Captain of Several Ships. In Two Volumes. Compositum jus, fasque animi, sanctosque recessus Mentis, & incoctum generoso pectus honesto. Printed for Benj. Motte, at the Middle Temple Gate, Fleet-street. N,B.

The letters were in the possession of the Rev. Charles Bathurst Woodman, a grandson of Charles Bathurst, who was in first communication with the partnership with Motte. The publisher was the following : "London, August 8, 1726.

  • Pdf\Preparatory\Charles Wesley Book Catalogue Pub.Wpd
    Proceedings of the Charles Wesley Society 14 (2010): 73–103. (This .pdf version reproduces pagination of printed form) Charles Wesley’s Personal Library, ca. 1765 Randy L. Maddox John Wesley made a regular practice of recording in his diary the books that he was reading, which has been a significant resource for scholars in considering influences on his thought.1 If Charles Wesley kept such diary records, they have been lost to us. However, he provides another resource among his surviving manuscript materials that helps significantly in this regard. On at least four occasions Charles compiled manuscript catalogues of books that he owned, providing a fairly complete sense of his personal library around the year 1765. Indeed, these lists give us better records for Charles Wesley’s personal library than we have for the library of brother John.2 The earliest of Charles Wesley’s catalogues is found in MS Richmond Tracts.3 While this list is undated, several of the manuscript hymns that Wesley included in the volume focus on 1746, providing a likely time that he started compiling the list. Changes in the color of ink and size of pen make clear that this was a “growing” list, with additions being made into the early 1750s. The other three catalogues are grouped together in an untitled manuscript notebook containing an assortment of financial records and other materials related to Charles Wesley and his family.4 The first of these three lists is titled “Catalogue of Books, 1 Jan 1757.”5 Like the earlier list, this date indicates when the initial entries were made; both the publication date of some books on the list and Wesley’s inscriptions in surviving volumes make clear that he continued to add to the list over the next few years.

  • 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.

Banca Examinadora: __________________________________ Prof. Dr. Markus Johannes Weininger Orientador __________________________________ Prof. Dr. José Roberto O‘Shea Abstract This is a partial critical analysis of an unabridged translation, to Brazilian Portuguese, of Jonathan Swift‘s Gulliver’s Travels, with a specific focus on its use and elucidation of allusions as an aid for reading comprehension. This was achieved by exploring research on literary allusions and the translation of allusions, and applying these theoretical views to the examination of both English-language scholars of the source text and the translator‘s own commentaries on the translated text. It has been found that minimum change with some measure of guidance is the best method to construe allusions in translation. The use of allusions in Gulliver’s Travels is complex and intricate, but a rich heritage of commentary and historical views are able to render the allusions clearer to a present-day reader. Keywords: translation, allusion, Jonathan Swift, reading comprehension. Word count: 11.566 Resumo Esta é uma análise crítica parcial de uma tradução integral, ao português brasileiro, das Viagens de Gulliver de Jonathan Swift, com uma ênfase específica em seu uso e elucidação de alusões como uma ferramenta para compreensão de leitura.

The principal cases in which I have participated a suit against a television police serial with a science-fictional gimmick (one of the cops was a robot), a suit against a made-for-television movie about a child "genius" and his experiences in college, a suit against Raiders of the Lost Ark by the author of a long, mystical novel about the Ark of the Covenant, a suit against a movie about the rock music industry in the 19505, a suit against a television movie about an alien invader are, I believe, rep- resentative of run-of-the-mill infringement cases in the film and tele- vision industry. The issues are usually access and similarity. Did the defendant have access to the plaintiff's work, and could he or she have copied that work or otherwise taken something of value from it? Is the defendant's work so similar to the plaintiff's that plagiarism is a rea- sonable hypothesis, or, alternatively, is the defendant's work different enough from the plaintiff's to be considered original? The issue for the expert witness is usually similarity.
