Did You Know?

I was reading about Gulliver Travels when it was first published in 1726 and noticed some interesting facts. First of all, the book was originally called Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships. Even though this title  gives the reader a better understanding on what the book will be about, it has been shortened to Gulliver's Travels. Also, Jonathan Swift published the 1726 edition of Gulliver's Travels as an anonymous author due to the danger of being arrested for his critical satire against the king and the Whig government.
