"Besides, as the vilest Writer has his Readers, so the greatest Liar has his Believers; and it often happens, that if a Lie be believ’d only for an Hour, it has done its Work, and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect…" - Jonathan Swift, “The Examiner”, year 1710

Useless quote for 11 Sep:
"… reasoning will never make a man correct an ill opinion, which by reasoning he never acquired …"
~ Jonathan Swift, 1720
Depending upon one's definition, either John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" (1678) or Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" (1726) could be called the first English fantasy novel. They both provide numerous imaginary continents, along with maps for context.
May you live every day of your life.

Beetje tegen de moordpartijen door Netanyahu cs. ook wel zeker?
Overigens.
Waar blijft de #yahoo in relatie tot het reisverslag van #jonathanswift naar het land van de #huoyhnhnms.
Als WIJ dan al lezen in weerwil van die 21%, kunnen we dan met een (heel!) korte grinnik die oorlogsmisdadiger verbinden aan wat al meer dan 250 bekend was?
We wisten het al.
Today's #rabbithole started at @Irishphilosophy and why #JonathanSwift finally agreed to let his choir debase themselves by performing #Handel's 1742 #Dublin #Messiah premier #otd in a common music hall which led to winding Wikipedia tunnels of 32 flavours of #Enlightenment #Deism and omg it's 6pm!
Depending upon one's definition, either John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" (1678) or Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" (1726) could be called the first English fantasy novel, presenting a world with unique geography. Maps have been part of fantasy novels from the beginning.

Bravo, thanks for the link! A great piece by Jess Keiser on Sterne and Tristram Shandy, and on the more anarchic elements in 18th century literature. Encourages me to re-read Swift and Fielding with open eyes (and, of course, to go back to Sterne).
When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this infallible sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.

"He gave the little wealth he had
To build a house for fools and mad,
And showed by one satiric touch
No nation needed it so much."
