This revision of the Norton Critical Edition of Gulliverís Travels has made it possible to represent recent works on Swift and the Travels.

Critical Essays, while retaining all the pieces from the First Edition, has been enriched with new essays by Allan Bloom, W. B. Carnochan, R. S. Crane, Nigel Dennis, Paul Fussell, Jr., C. J. Rawson, and Edward W. Rosenheim, Jr.

New to this edition is a section consisting of five poems, "Verses on Gulliverís Travels," by Pope, which appeared initially in the 1727 edition.

The section of correspondence has been enlarged to include more of Swift and to introduce the voices of Pope, Gay, and Arbuthnot, who record their own and Londonís reactions to this most remarkable of volumes.

The text of Swiftís letters is based on Harold Williamsís monumental edition of the Correspondence.

A revised and updated Bibliography is also included.
