Gulliver's Travels has been called many things: Menippean satire, children's story, proto-Science Fiction and even the forerunner of the modern novel. Published seven years after Daniel Defoe's wildly successful Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels may be read as a rebuttal of Defoes optimistic account of human capability. In The Unthinkable Swift: The Spontaneous Philosophy of a Church of England Man Warren Montag argues that Swift was concerned to refute the notion that the individual precedes society, as Defoe's novel seems to suggest. Swift regarded such thought as a dangerous endorsement of Thomas Hobbes' radical political philosophy and for this reason Gulliver repeatedly encounters established societies rather than desolate islands. The captain who invites Gulliver to serve as a surgeon aboard his ship on the disastrous third voyage is named Robinson. Possibly one of the reasons for the book's classic status is that it can be seen as many things to many different people. Wilder Publications is a green publisher.

Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish writer, satirist, poet, essayist, political pamphleteer, and clergyman, best known as the author of Gulliver's Travels and one of the greatest prose satirists in the English language. Born in Dublin and educated at Trinity College, Swift became closely involved in the literary, political, and religious controversies of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Britain and Ireland. His career joined church office, public argument, literary invention, and fierce moral criticism, giving his work a distinctive mixture of intellectual force, comic precision, anger, and rhetorical control.Swift's major works include A Tale of a Tub, The Battle of the Books, A Modest Proposal, The Drapier's Letters, and Gulliver's Travels. His satire attacks corruption, vanity, false learning, sectarian conflict, political folly, colonial exploitation, and the self-flattering assumptions of human reason. Though often dark and unsparing, his writing is also exact, inventive, and deeply influential in the development of English prose style. Swift's combination of political intelligence, literary imagination, and satirical severity shaped later fiction, journalism, essay writing, and political commentary, and his work remains essential to readers of eighteenth-century literature, Irish literature, English classics, political satire, and the history of the novel.
