Gulliver's Travels And Selected Writings In Prose & Verse
By Jonathan Swift
Edited by John Hayward
Published by Random House: New York 1944

" This well-produced wartime issue of Swift's works brings together Gulliver's Travels alongside a finely chosen selection of Swift's prose and verse, edited by distinguished literary scholar John Hayward. Intended to reflect Swift's range as satirist, moralist and stylist, the volume pairs the complete text of his most famous fictional voyage with essays, poems, and shorter writings that reveal both the bite and the humanity behind his satire. The Nonesuch Press aesthetic is evident throughout, from the elegant title-page vignette to the clear, balanced typography that underscores the press's reputation for refined literary editions.

Printed and bound in Scotland by R. & R. Clark, the volume has survived strongly and includes a 1945 gift inscription on the front endpaper, adding a warm personal provenance to the copy. With its combination of Swift's major work and carefully curated supporting pieces, this edition offers a rich introduction to one of English literature's greatest satirists, and will appeal to collectors of classic Nonesuch Press-related editions, Swift enthusiasts, and lovers of finely edited literary compilations."
