Abstract
Jonathan Swift, a man of many contradictions, is considered the greatest satirist in the English language. This program intertwines a critical examination of Gulliver’s Travels and "A Modest Proposal" with incisive commentary on the author’s life, the art of satire, and the nature and limits of humanity. Experts include Joe McMinn, of Ulster University; Dr. Carole Fabricant, author of Swift’s Landscape; the keeper of the Marsh Library, in Dublin; and contemporary satirists, including musician Mark Russell. Clips from the BBC’s Voyage to Lilliput and NBC’s Gulliver’s Travels bring Swift’s masterpiece to life. A Discovery University Production.
