Synopsis

Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer, poet and cleric. He was Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin from 1713 to his death, receiving the post over the objections of Queen Anne, who felt his Tale of a Tub had been blasphemous. Gulliver’s Travels is Swift’s most famous work, primarily because its first two sections are easily adapted for young children. It is, however, a scathing satire of British government and society. Even the nascent Scientific Revolution and Sir Isaac Newton are targets of Swift’s pen. In the end, the entire human race is viciously attacked and, ultimately, condemned. This edition is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for English developed at the University of Deseret in the mid-19th century.
