Things you didn't know about Gulliver's travels, and the great Irish Satirist, Jonathan Swift.
Happy 350th birthday, Jonathan Swift. Widely recognised as the leading satirist in the history of the English language, Swift found his way into the world 350 years ago on November 30, 1667. Celebrations of his life and legacy have been underway across the globe – not only in his home city of Dublin (https://jonathanswiftfestival.ie/?xid=PS_smithsonian) but also Philadelphia (http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/swift_papers.html?xid=PS_smithsonian), Münster (http://www.uni-muenster.de/Anglistik/Swift/Library/Events/7th_Symposium.html?xid=PS_smithsonian), Yokosuka City (http://www.city.yokosuka.kanagawa.jp.e.rb.hp.transer.com/2490/event/15kannnonnzakifes.html?xid=PS_smithsonian), Dundee (https://beinghumanfestival.org/events/series/jonathan-swift-350-lost-found/?xid=PS_smithsonian) and beyond.
