Essay, 2010

10 Pages, Grade: 2,0


Abstract or Introduction

Jonathan Swift's development as a writer started at the turn of two centuries when an immensely diverse experience of the English literature of the 17th century underwent a process of revaluation from the standpoint of emerging ideas of the Enlightenment. Being a contemporary of the great social movement and, partially, belonging to it, Swift perfected his skill during one of the most intensive epochs from the entire political history of England. Monarchy, feudal aristocracy, bourgeoisie, the outset of the country’s capitalist system, severe exploitation of his fellow man, religious wars, - everything was experienced and acutely felt by the writer throughout his tough seventy-eight-year life. Being focused upon suffering, foibles and frailty, pride and stupidity, Gulliver’s Travels could be seen as the quintessence of the writer’s life experience, ideas and feelings.
