Come with me to 18th-century Britain --a time and place marked by the satirical masterpieces of Jonathan Swift, deadly beauty and powdered wigs, the births of the dictionary and the Encyclopœdia Brittanica, volatile eruption of political kafuffles, and the blending of public and private spheres with the advent of the reading paper, the novel, and revolutionary philosophical concepts. Hopefully, your navigation of this website will enable a greater understanding and appreciation of the British literary canon and its contemporary relevance, particularly in the English major. Enjoy!
