Abstract:

The primary aim of this thesis is to identify and assess the correspondences which occur between Gulliver's Travels and non fiction travel writing to which Swift is known to have had access before and during the period of composition. Books of travels listed by Harold Williams in Dean Swift's Library (Cambridge, 1932) have been consulted. In particular, the thesis examines the possible contribution of travel documents published by Hakluyt and Purchas. The method of research employed has been to concentrate upon themes such as the veracity of travel writers, stylistic features, primitive savage

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 reworking

Abstract:

Douglas Adams and Jonathan Swift are satirists who lived and worked 250 years apart. Swift's eighteenth-century text, Gulliver's Travels, tells the story of an Englishman's adventures during numerous sea voyages that bring him into contact with fantastical peoples and places. Adams's twentieth-century text, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, relates a hapless Englishman's trials and tribulations during an intergalactic voyage which takes him and his companions to bizarre destinations. This study considers key similarities and differences between the texts. Resonances between Gulliver's cele

Les "Voyages de Gulliver" s'inscrivent dans la tradition du voyage imaginaire, genre fondé par Lucien de Samosate, et qui a connu un grand essor en France au XVIIe siècle. Les liens entre l'oeuvre de Swift et les récits en français relèvent de deux types. D'une part, des relations intertextuelles rattachent les "Voyages" à plusieurs hypotextes (l'"Histoire véritable" dans la version des d'Ablancourt, le "Quart livre" de Rabelais et "L'autre monde" de Cyrano de Bergerac).

Desde sua primeira impressão, em Londres, no ano de 1726, Viagens de Gulliver, de Jonathan Swift, tem sido amplamente lida e, conseqüentemente, reimpressa. No entanto, o evidente sucesso editorial do livro não permite concluir que ele tenha ganhado incontestável aprovação do público nem tampouco pode levar-nos a pensar que suas interpretações foram sempre consensuais. Prova disso reside nos dissensos do período pós-publicação os quais se estenderam e alargaram até a era vitoriana, no século XIX, a partir de quando a obra mais importante de Jonathan Swift adquiriu novas leituras, especialmente

Abstract:

Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift, has captured readers' imaginations for almost three hundred years, spawning countless adaptations over several different mediums. As different means of communicating and transforming art have been invented, these adaptations have grown to fill the new mediums and make use of the various possibilities each form has created. Film in particular has created an enormous opportunity to re-imagine Gulliver's Travels, since it can directly show the audience the fictional foreign locations in which Gulliver finds himself.

Abstract:

Gulliver's Travels has been admired and criticized alike since its appearance in print for its scathing satire. It has mostly been read as an allegory whose prototypes were contemporary events and figures. Critics have found counterparts and analogies for its characters and events in the political and historical scenes of eighteenth-century England. Studying Gulliver's Travels from an allegorical point of view, however, conceals its universality from us. Allegorical readings usually focus on the first and third voyages, and are based on the assumption that Gulliver is a mouthpiece, not a chara

Abstract:

本論文以Gulliver’s Travels晚清時期的中譯本《海外軒渠錄》（1906）為研究對象，探討譯者對原文諷刺手法的翻譯策略。Gulliver’s Travels 是西方諷刺（satire）文學經典之作，主要通過「敘事角色」（persona）以及「想像遊記」（imaginary voyage）的手法取得諷刺效果。晚清時期中西文學傳統殊異，想要在中文語境中再現原文的諷刺特點，並非易事。本論文通過具體的文本對比和分析發現，由於中國文學傳統以及晚清翻譯規範的影響，譯者在翻譯過程中改寫原文，因此《海外軒渠錄》未能體現Gulliver’s Travels的諷刺手法，而譯文也從一個側面展示出中西文學相互碰撞、對話的過程。本研究希望藉此個案，從文學表現以及文學交流的角度再論晚清小說翻譯。<br>This thesis examines one late Qing Chinese translation of Gulliver’s Travels in 1906, namely Haiwai Xuanqulu 海外軒渠錄.

Abstract:

Book 3 of Jonathan Swift's Travels into the Remote Nations of the World offers a thorough critique of the eighteenth-century scientific world--a world marked by systematization, theoretical speculation, stories of "progress," and innovation, which people have commonly embraced and into which the "modern" mind had unresistingly and perhaps unconsciously placed itself. Because Book 3 appears to indulge in a transparent attack on some specific eighteenth-century events, ridicule seems to be the primary device used to undermine the practices of the scientific community.

In the development of literature, adventure story is the most ancient form of the novel. With exciting and tight plots, blazing characters and grotesque and uncommon incidents, adventure stories make strong appeal to the readers.

Working at the intersection of narrative studies and political theory, this thesis performs an original critical intervention in Gulliver’s Travels studies to establish the work as an intertextual response to the hegemonic articulations of European travel writing produced between the 15th and 18th centuries under the discourse of Discovery. My argument proceeds through two movements. First, an archeology of studies on Gulliver’s Travels that identifies key developments and points of significance in analyses of the satire’s intertextual relationship with travel writing.

This study revises a dominant narrative of the eighteenth-century, in which a secular modernity emerges in opposition to religious belief.

I identify disputes around the liturgy and common prayer as a source of a folk psychology concerning mental habits conditioned by everyday interactions with devotional and cultural objects.

This dissertation investigates the balance of power theory of international relations in the works of Jonathan Swift and his mentor Sir William Temple. Both Temple and Swift are known to have championed balance-of-power foreign policy, yet no sustained study of the subject exists. To begin, I argue that Temple used balance as a metaphor for division or separation. His policy of preserving the “Balance of Christendom” translates to sowing division among European states, and for the same reason he rejects balance of power at home.
