Description
Part of the Norton Library series The Norton Library edition of Gulliver's Travels features the text of the 1735 revised edition, edited for the modern reader by Daniel Cook. An introduction by Cook offers a friendly navigation guide to Gulliver's fantastical adventures in Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the land of the Houyhnhnms, highlighting the work's pioneering genre experiments and blistering satire of eighteenth-century British culture and politics. The Norton Library is a growing collection of high-quality texts and translations-influential works of literature and philosophy-introduced and edited by leading scholars. Norton Library editions prepare readers for their first encounter with the works that they'll re-read over a lifetime. Inviting introductions highlight the work's significance and influence, providing the historical and literary context students need to dive in with confidence. Endnotes and an easy-to-read design deliver an uninterrupted reading experience, encouraging students to read the text first and refer to endnotes for more information as needed. An affordable price (most $10 or less) encourages students to buy the book and to come to class with the assigned edition. About the Editor: Daniel Cook is Reader in English at the University of Dundee in Scotland. He is the author of Walter Scott and Short Fiction (2021), Reading Swift's Poetry (2020), and Thomas Chatterton and Neglected Genius, 1760-1830 (2013).
