Jonathan Swift documentary
Jonathan Swift (30 November 1667 – 19 October 1745) was an Anglo-Irish satirist, author, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for the Whigs, then for the Tories), poet, and Anglican cleric who became Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, hence his common sobriquet, "Dean Swift".
Swift is remembered for works such as A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal (1729). He is regarded by the Encyclopædia Britannica as the foremost prose satirist in the English language, and is less well known for his poetry. He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms—such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M. B. Drapier—or anonymously. He was a master of two styles of satire, the Horatian and Juvenalian st...

Jonathan Swift (30 November 1667 – 19 October 1745) was an Anglo-Irish satirist, author, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for the Whigs, then for the Tories), poet, and Anglican cleric who became Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, hence his common sobriquet, "Dean Swift".
Swift is remembered for works such as A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and
A Modest Proposal (1729). He is regarded by the Encyclopædia Britannica as the foremost prose satirist in the English language, and is less well known for his poetry. He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms—such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M. B. Drapier—or anonymously. He was a master of two styles of satire, the Horatian and Juvenalian styles.
His deadpan, ironic writing style, particularly in A Modest Proposal, has led to such satire being subsequently termed "Swiftian".

"The best doctors in the land are Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet and Doctor Merry-man" - Jonathan Swift.
Professor Jim Lucey of St Patrick’s Mental Health Services (SPMHS) delves into the incredible footprint of our founder, Jonathan Swift, not only on the written word, but on mental healthcare in Ireland.
Renowned around the world as a satirist, Dean of @SaintPatricksCathedralDublin and, of course, author of 'Gulliver's Travels' and more, Swift’s generosity and forward-thinking vision of a "home for fools and mad" also left a lasting impact on mental healthcare in Ireland. A former governor of the infamous Bedlam asylum in London, he understood that people experiencing mental health difficulties required a specialist service to provide care, treatment and a voice, leaving £12,000 for this in his will. One year after his death, in 1746, St Patrick’s Hospital was founded – not only the first mental health hospital to be built in Ireland, but one of the very first in the world.
Professor Lucey explores this fascinating history, SPMHS' unique ties to our founder, and Swift’s continuing legacy in empowering the people of #Ireland to live mentally healthy lives.
This presentation was recorded as part of Culture Night 2020.

Download the free study guide and infographic for Gulliver’s Travels here: https://www.coursehero.com/lit/Gullivers-Travels/infographic/
In Jonathan Swift's iconic satire Gulliver's Travels, the titular protagonist journeys to strange lands and interacts with their even-stranger inhabitants.
As he ricochets from one ridiculous adventure to the next, Gulliver's faith in humanity and its constructs is utterly dismantled.
His encounters with the minute Lilliputians, the gigantic Brobdingnagians, and the Houyhnhnms, a race of talking horses, among others, illustrate the absurdities of 18th century English society.
Through his depictions of bizarre social customs, tyrannical leaders, and arcane intellectual pursuits, he casts a gimlet eye on a country both fraught with conflict and revolutionized by the Enlightenment.
Irish writer Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels was first published in 1726. Despite holding various political positions and rising through the ranks of the Irish church, he used his writings to prod unrelentingly at the failings of politics, religion, and Enlightenment thinking in general. Full of both pointed observations and scatological humor, Gulliver’s Travels is a touchstone of narrative social commentary.
The satirical, adventurous novel Gulliver’s Travels contains many enduring themes, including abuses of power, as those who have power display intolerance, no matter how much Gulliver likes them. The cerebral versus the real world is also explored, as the most learned people Gulliver meets are often the least practical and compassionate. Another theme is society versus the individual, as each society Gulliver visits has practices everyone must conform to. Important motifs include bodies, language, and reversal.

Go traveller
and imitate if you can
one who strove with all his might
to vindicate liberty
the chief end I propose to myself in all my labours is to vex the world rather than divert it

EXTRACT
Here is deposited the body
of Jonathan Swift Doctor of Sacred Theology

can no longer
lacerate his heart
Go traveller

to vindicate liberty
the chief end I propose to myself in all my labours is to vex the world rather than divert it

This lesson gives students background information on Jonathan Swift, a conceptual introduction to satire, and background knowledge on Gulliver's Travels, especially Part 4. It's a good lesson to use before "
A Modest Proposal" too.
Below is the outline of the slides used in the lesson:
Jonathan Swift, Satire, and Gulliver's Travels Lesson
Biography of Swift
Satire—Definition and Examples
Background of Gulliver's Travels
Connections to the Project
Jonathan Swift, 1667-1745
Born in Ireland of English, Anglican parents
At a time when tensions between England and Ireland were high for political and religious reasons
Conflicts with the English government over his family's politics after the English Civil War and over his writing
Had a great sympathy for the Irish—became somewhat of a member of both cultures
Became the Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin
Satire
A literary form (poetry, prose, or drama) that exaggerates tendencies to make people laugh as a form of protest
Uses humor as a weapon
A more enlightened form of sarcasm
Can be subtle or blatant, and can be serious or silly
Examples of Satire
How Satire Works
Literal Satire: looks, feels, seems just like realistic art, but little things are exaggerated to show how ridiculous they are
Unrealistic Satire (like Gulliver's Travels): fantastic places and unrealistic settings serve as metaphors for the world we live in
When people laugh, they are more relaxed and willing to engage with a speaker or artist
When people see things that aren't them but who do the same things they do, they can look at those things more objectively
Gulliver's Travels
Travel narrative—Lemuel Gulliver goes to four places:
Liliput—the land of the small people
Brobdingnag—the land of the giants
Laputa—the land of the "scientists"
The Land of the Houyhnhnms—talking horses who have more reason than men
Gulliver's Travels
Liliput—Swift makes fun of people's pettiness; for example, two political parties fight furiously over which end of an egg should be cracked
Brobdingnag—By encountering giant humans, Gulliver shows us just how disgusting people are
Laputa—The scientists of Laputa are so busy with all of their imaginary learning that their wives go astray
Gulliver's Travels
The Land of the Houyhnhnms
In comparison to humans, horses seem very wise, just, and reasonable—so much for the Enlightenment
Gulliver comes to identify with the horses and not the Yahoos—a race of human-ish creatures that have all of humanity's worst qualities
What is a human? What is an animal? Are humans all that great?
Connection to the Project
Swift shows us slavery, racism, and genocide, and he asks us questions about all of them
He makes us question the Enlightenment and the very idea of civilization and who is civilized
Like many Enlightenment thinkers, he realized that Europe needed to humble itself
Lesson Completed—Good Job
I have provided a read-along for this
Be prepared to write about satirical episodes in the selections from the book that I have given you—like a metaphor, what's the tenor and what's the vehicle, and what's Swift's purpose for the satire?
