Create a 6 page essay paper that discusses Johnathan Swift and Laurence Sterne.

And it is a fact that these changes which can be economical, political, and social. All this has a great impact on cultural life and on literature in particular. Jonathan Swift partially belonged to the epoch of Enlightenment while Laurence Sterne was definitely the representative of this time.

Swift’s views were formed by the ideas of Temple and Monten. He shared Monten’s scepticism in Anglican interpretation, which was focused on the weakness and limited nature of human mind. This ethical study led to the Anglican rationalism. The idea of historical change was at the centre of Swift’s historical views.

“Gulliver’s Travels” is the greatest work of Jonathan Swift. It should be mentioned that this book is one of the most complicated and cruel literature works of mankind. Besides it is a book that contains a great number of contradictions. In the forth part of “Gulliver’s Travels” Swift speaks about his hatred to all people. If these words were taken as an idea of his work it would mean that Swift was the enemy of humanism and progress.

“He said, he knew no Reason, why those who entertain Opinions prejudicial to the Publick, should be obliged to change, or should not be obliged to conceal them. And, as it was Tyranny in any Government to require the first, so it was Weakness not to enforce the second.”1

Swift’s work “Gulliver’s Travels” is closely connected with the time he lived in. It is infested with the hints on the cruel reality. Though the events described in the book take place far, it is possible to see Great Britain in every detail. The most remarkable in Swift’s satire is that his characters, events, and situation gain the meaning common to all mankind, peoples and times.
