The 2018 Jay I. Kislak Symposium, Jonathan Swift in the 21st Century, will take place on February 22-24 in the Class of 1978 Orrery Pavilion, on the sixth floor of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library.

Jonathan Swift was a traveller, in his imagination as well as in life, regularly making his way, by ship and by foot, back and forth between Ireland and England during major periods of his life. Swift also travelled through genres and voices, among men and women, and between politics and religion. His works have travelled as well, through space and time, in numerous editions, along with translations, responses, adaptations, abridgements, continuations and illustrated versions.

This conference seeks to reconsider Swift and his works through a contemporary lens, exploring how they have travelled across three centuries and around the world.
