British Literature : The Reception of Gulliver's Travels (J.Swift, 1726).
“From the highest to the lowest it is universally read, from the Cabinet-council to the Nursery,” John Gay wrote to J. Swift, shortly after the first anonymous publication of Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World in 1726 in London.
We will examine the reasons for Gulliver’s Travels spectacular and ongoing success, focusing on the text and its critical, artistic and popular reception over almost three centuries in the English-speaking world and elsewhere.
