"This Long Disease, My Life": Alexander Pope and the Sciences
The Scientific Background of ‘Voyage to Laputa’ (1937)
Among the travels of Gulliver, the 'Voyage to Laputa' has been most criticized and least understood. There is general agreement that in interest and literary merit it falls short of the first two voyages. It is marked by multiplicity of themes; it is episodic in character.

The classical and medieval elements in Milton's description of Hell have been so fully established that it has not seemed necessary to ask whether the poet drew his inspiration from other than literary sources. Yet there is a realism in Milton's details which accounts in large part for their vividness, and which gives to the first book of Paradise Lost a verisimilitude not unnaturally lacking in the scenes in Paradise, and not equalled even by th…
