Jonathan Swift was the last great defender of the Ancients in what was known as The Battle of the Ancients versus the Moderns. He was also a keen and insightful—and at times brutal—and hilarious enemy of the Enlightenment. His insights into the misguided foundations of the modern world are even more needed today than they were 300 years ago.

Join Angelina Stanford to survey the work of Jonathan Swift and look closely at Gulliver’s Travels, his masterpiece. Find out why my Early Modern students call Gulliver the most important book you will ever read, why Tolkien says Gulliver is not a children’s fairy tale, and why Twitter desperately needs Swift!
