Gulliver's Travels is one of the few works of English literature
which is also a landmark in world literature. Jonathan Swift's
account of Lemuel Gulliver's adventures in the fantastical
societies of 'remote nations' was an instant best-seller on
publication in 1726 and has remained in the public imagination ever
since, as both a satiric fantasy and an analysis of the human
condition. This scholarly edition offers an authoritative text,
based on the widest possible historical collation of the many
editions published in Swift's lifetime; a detailed introduction and
textual apparatus; and appendices and illustrations presenting
important ancillary material with new clarity. Extensive notes and
commentary open out the many layers of meaning and allusion in the
text, identify new sources and parallels and offer wide-ranging
historical background information. An important addition to the
Cambridge Swift Edition, this volume will be indispensable for
scholars and students of eighteenth-century literature and ideas.
