In this episode of Literary Tales we examine Jonathan Swift’s incredible mock and satirical travel work, Gulliver’s Travels. In this lecture we explore the work as principally a philosophical satire through Gulliver’s journeys leading to his insanity and dehumanization. Ruminations on philosophy, theology, and John Milton are included.

This lecture is based off my essay, “The Fall and Degeneration of Man in Gulliver’s Travels,” (23 January, 2019)
