摘要：The novel Gulliver’s Travels (1726) by Jonathan Swift is usually considered a comic fable for children. However, it is a severe attack to politics, religion, and science in eighteenth-century England. As literary production is constrained by its own sociocultural context, it allows us to read a novel as a historical document. In this fashion, this work aims to analyze the main satires to the eighteenth-century England deployed by Jonathan Swift in his most know novel as a possible means to depict the zeitgeist he was immersed in.
