Gulliver @ 300: Still Relevant After All These Years
About the event
Join Dr Brendan Twomey for an entertaining look at the life and times of Jonathan Swift, the memorable characters and comic set pieces of Gulliver’s Travels, and the extraordinary influence the book has had on popular culture. Discover how Gulliver, Lilliput and the Yahoos became recognised around the world, and why Swift’s humour and satire remain remarkably relevant today.
