Satire in Lilliput In Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Swift uses satire to tell a tale of Lemuel Gulliver going on voyages in strange lands and meeting a variety of different characters. Jonathan Swift's was one of the greatest satirists of his and our time. In the first book of Gulliver's Travels millions of young schoolchildren have grown to love this famous story and never recognize the satire hidden in the story. In his first Book he uses satire to demonstrate English politics by using the citizens of Lilliput.
For the latter he was sent to the pillory for three days. After that experience he wrote 'Hymn to the Pillory' in which he criticized the law. 'Robinson Crusoe' was published in 1719. It is based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk and is also autobiographical. Robinson is considered the first bourgeoisie character. He also wrote 'Roxana', 'Captain Singleton' and 'Moll Flanders'. Jonathan Swift (1667 1745) was born in Dublin to a poor family. However, his father died before he was born and he was raised by his uncle. He attended Dublin Univerity, where he excelled at history, literature and languages. After graduation he became a private secretary to Sir William Temple in London, who had a very large library where Swift could educate himself and he received his MA degree in 1692 from Oxford. He returned to Ireland and became a vicar, but went back to London in a year
History exam *Stonehenge - is a monument located in England. It is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world and is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. The surrounding circular, earth bank and ditch, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Stonehenge was produced by a culture with no written language. Many aspects of Stonehenge remain subject to debate. There is little or no direct evidence for the construction techniques used by the Stonehenge builders. *The Celts in Britain and their legacy The Cets lived in Britain in The Iron Age. They were warring tribes who were battleful amongst themselves as well as inter-tribal war. They were not centrally governed. The Celts brought iron working, iron ploughs and metal swords, horses, wheels and chariots - all these things gave them an instant superiority over the native tribes. The Celts built a number of hill forts throughout the region. The society
British history Roman Britain Roman Britain was those parts of the island of Great Britain controlled by the Roman Empire between 43 and about 410. The Romans referred to their province as Britannia. Prior to the Roman invasion, Iron Age Britain already had cultural and economic links with Continental Europe, but the invaders introduced new developments in agriculture, urbanization, industry and architecture, leaving a legacy that is still apparent today. Historical records beyond the initial invasion are sparse, although many Roman historians mention the province in passing. Most of the knowledge of the period stems from archaeological investigations and especially epigraphic evidence. The invasion force in AD 43 was led by Aulus Plautius.It is not known how many Roman legions were sent; only one legion, the II Augusta, commanded by the future emperor Vespasian, is directly attested to have taken part. The IX Hi
It steadily rejects stoicism in favour of Christian morality, and thus found little popularity among his unregenerate officer brothers. Perhaps due to this, a strain of missionary endeavour ran through much of his subsequent journalism. As a contributor to the Spectacle, Steele proved a censorious critic of the drama, putting down the moral excesses of the Restoration stage in favour of the soberer joys of Terence. (Sanders, p. 295-298) 22. Augustan satire (Dryden, Swift, Pope, Johnson) Dryden’s satire was primarily influenced by his political views. This is evident in his following plays: Absalom and Achitophel and The Medall: A Satyre Against Sedition. Regarding the latter, it is said that the King himself provided the subject for the play. The Medall is a frontal attack on Shaftesbury’s character and on the political motives of his party, the Whigs. Additionally, Dryden as a satirist was also motivated by professional rivalry
