A Tale of a Tub
A Tale of a Tub was the first major work written by Jonathan Swift, arguably his most difficult satire and perhaps his most masterly. The "Tale" is a prose parody divided into sections each delving into the morals and ethics of the English. Composed between 1694 and 1697, it was eventually published in 1704. It was long regarded as a satire on religion, and has famously been attacked for that, starting with William Wotton.
Gulliver's Travels
Motte published "Gulliver's Travels" anonymously, and as was often the way with fashionable works, several follow-ups ("Memoirs of the Court of Lilliput"), parodies ("Two Lilliputian Odes, The first on the Famous Engine With Which Captain Gulliver extinguish'd the Palace Fire...") and "keys" ("Gulliver Decipher'd" and "Lemuel Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Regions of the World Compendiously Methodiz'd", the second by Edmund Curll who had similarly written a "key" to Swift's "Tale of a Tub" in 1705) were swiftly produced. These were mostly printed anonymously (or occasionally pseudonymously) and were quickly forgotten. Swift had nothing to do with them and disavowed them in Faulkner's edition of 1735. Swift's friend Alexander Pope wrote a set of five "Verses on Gulliver's Travels", which Swift liked so much that he added them to the second edition of the book, though they are rarely included.
