Study Guides and Lesson Plans for
Gulliver's Travels
About Gullivers Travels by Jonathan Swift:
This masterpiece tells the incredible tale of Lemuel Gulliver, an
English ship's surgeon. He is shipwrecked upon the shores of Lilliput, where the residents
are only six inches high, then journeys takes him to the land of Brobdingnag, populated by
giants, a floating island in the sky, and a land where horses have intelligence and man
lives as a beast. His adventures, while read by children as an adventure story, are a
devastating satire of society and human foibles. Part travelogue, part realism, part
symbolism, Gullivers Travels remains a treasured classic of literature.
Recommended for grades 7 and up.
