Politics vs. Literature: An Examination of Gulliver's Travels
"Politics vs. Literature: An Examination of Gulliver's Travels" is a critical essay published in 1946 by the English author George Orwell. The essay is a review of ''Gulliver's Travels'' with a discussion of its author Jonathan Swift. The essay first appeared in ''Polemic'' No 5 in September 1946.
==Background==
Within the essay, Orwell refers to receiving a copy of ''Gulliver's Travels'' on his eighth birthday and claims to have read it not less than half a dozen times since. He refers to it as "a rancorous as well as a pessimistic book", going on to add that "it descends into political partisanship of a narrow kind."〔Orwell, Sonia and Angus, Ian (eds.). ''The Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George Orwell Volume 4: In Front of Your Nose (1945-1950)'' (Penguin)〕 Orwell admits that while it might seem that his object in writing the essay was to "refute" Swift and "belittle" him, adding that he is against Swift in a political and moral sense, he nevertheless states that Swift is "one of the writers I admire with least reserve".〔
