Abstract

Gulliver's travels are an excellent satirical novel in the neo classical period of English literature. While exposing the social problems in Britain, he criticized the prevailing colonialism. But the author himself was still limited by the times and had a certain colonial mentality. This paper interprets the background and content of the works and analyses the inner colonial ideology in the works.
