ABSTRACT:
A 10 page research paper that examines how Jonathan Swift's classic Gulliver's Travels, which is a biting adult satire was transformed into a staple of children's literature. The writer summarizes Jackie Stallcup's insightful history and analysis of Gulliver's myriad children's adaptations. This review establishes the fact that adaptations of classics into children's books says a great deal about adult agendas, and provides backdrop for an investigation into current adaptations of Swift's work. In this regard, several reviews of contemporary adaptations of Gulliver, which are intended for children, are analyzed in order to determine the current editorial agenda for how this classic of English satire is perceived and presented to children. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
