The Battle of the Books and Other Short Pieces

The Battle of the Books and Other Short Pieces

Beskrivning av boken

Probably best known for his famous work, Gullivers Travels, this book shows a whole different side to Jonathon Swift. In his time, (17th-century) there was great debate among scholars as to whether the ancient writers (the Greeks) were better than modern (17th-century) ones. Swift argues that writers such as Aristotle had ideas that are just as valid as modern ones.
