Act 2
On 28 October 1726 a London printer published the first volume of Travels into Seueral Remote Nations of the World by Lemuel Gulliver , ' first a surgeon and then a captain of several ships'. But some readers already knew that the true author was Jonathan Swift. Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral. Dublin.
On the 250th anniversary of the publication of Gulliver's Travels, Denis Donoghue , Professor of Modern English and American Literature in Univer- sity College, Dublin, suggests that Gulliver remains one of the most memorable characters in fiction for the very reason that Swift has given him no character at all.
