Abstract:

The 18^th century masterpiece Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels (1726) is a satirical work of art pointing at political, economic, and moral problems of England in the form of a funny travelogue. The social and satirical world of Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the land of the Houyhnhnms depicts the political power and cultural relativity of 18^th century England in the novel.

The present paper analyses the thematic concerns of the novel besides the textual analysis of the four worlds of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, which he represents in this satirical masterpiece, connoting the social issues and political interpretations. In the present paper, an attempt has also been made to analyze this canonical text since it is not just a travel narrative but it is also a symbol of philosophical and political concerns.
