 The Speculative Literature Foundation
The Gulliver Travel Research Grant is awarded to assist writers of speculative literature, including fiction, drama, poetry, and creative nonfiction, in their research.
(see "What is speculative literature anyway?" in the FAQ) The grant is not currently available for academic research, though we hope to offer such funds in the future.
The Gulliver Travel Research Grant, formerly the Speculative Literature Foundation Travel Research Grant, was renamed in November 2006 at the request of the grant sponsor.

But, I believe, the proliferation of the hat in children’s literature is more than all this.
This passage is from page 98 of Cormac McCarthy’s THE CROSSING, “… and he drank from the canteen and poured the rest of the water into the crown of his hat and watered the horse out of the hat and …”.

  Essays and Papers on LITERATURE, ENGLISH: SWIFT Research Papers, Essays, and Term Papers
The purpose of this paper is to analyze Jonathan Swift's novel, Gulliver's Travels, with particular emphasis on the chapter involving Gulliver's visit to the Land of the Houyhnhnms.
In October, 1726, England's Jonathan Swift published what is probably the most famous and savage satire ever directed against mankind.
In a letter to a friend, Charles Ford, Swift wrote that his work would "wonderfully rend the world." He had spent three years writing it, took the manuscript in person to London to arrange for its anonymous publication, and retired to Alexander Pope's house to enjoy the expected storm it would cause.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: English Literature
It is not unlikely that the written literature may have begun as early as the sixth century, but at any rate, by the middle of the seventh century the traces of it are clear in the work of Cædmon, according to the testimony of Bede.
It is the custom of historians of literature to divide the literary life of Chaucer into a French, an Italian, and an English period, according as his work was influenced by the manner of each national literature.
Yet it is to this acquaintance with Italy and its literature that we owe the revival of English poetry after its long relapse since the death of Chaucer.

1726 The Representation of Corruption in Dante's Inferno, Chaucer's "The Pardoner's Tale", and Shakespeare's Hamlet.
A focus upon how these three giants of European literature represent a particular aspect of their cultural and social contexts would lead to insights, not only into their societies, but into how artists manipulate contextual material for their own aesthetic or critical purposes.
Examining their treatment of the theme of social corruption in three representative texts, we will see that all three writers were engaged/removed to different degrees with regard to their social contexts.

In the early afternoon of July 12, 1726, William Fly ascended Boston's gallows to be hanged for piracy.
Between 1716 and 1726, no fewer than 450 were hanged (this is the number I have been able to document so far), and in truth the actual number was probably a third to a half higher.
Pirate Philip Lyne announced at his execution in CuraÐao in 1726 that he "had killed 37 Masters of Vessels." The search for vengeance was in many ways a fierce, embittered, fatal response to the violent, personal, and arbitrary authority wielded by the merchant captain.

 The Augustan Age
Dryden forms the link between Restoration and Augustan literature; although he wrote ribald comedies in the Restoration vein, his verse satires were highly admired by the generation of poets who followed him, and his writings on literature were very much in a neoclassical spirit.
The literature of this period which conformed to Pope's aesthetic principles (and could thus qualify as being 'Augustan') is distinguished by its striving for harmony and precision, its urbanity, and its imitation of classical models such as Homer, Cicero, Virgil, and Horace, for example in the work of the minor poet Matthew Prior.
The essays are discussions of current events, literature, and gossip often written in a highly ironic and refined style.

With the recognition of those on high and gifts bestowed (one of which was a farm in the Sabinian Hills above Rome), Horace was able to lead a life of leisure and luxury; and, eventually, was to acquire the position of the poet laureate.

One of the best known and most respected figures in English literature is Milton; though, it has been said (De Selincourt), that "the true appreciation of Milton is the last reward of the scholar." Milton was religious (considering the age, - how could one be anything else).

 Homosexuality in Eighteenth-Century England: The Trial of William Brown, 1726
In 1726 William Brown was found guilty of the misdemeanour of an attempt to commit sodomy, and sentenced to stand in the pillory in Moorfields, London, to pay a fine of 10 marks, and to go to prison for two months.
The case is interesting for revealing a man who, though perhaps not "gay and proud" in the modern sense, nevertheless declared to the authorities that he was not ashamed of his behaviour and that he felt that how he used his body was his own business — a strikingly modern conception.

Despite the view of many Christians to the contrary, one need only refer to a host of Christian writers through the centuries to show that reasonable interpreters of the Bible have consistently upheld the doctrine of the unity of God throughout history.
A good example is Edward Elwall, prominent eighteenth-century Baptist merchant and writer of religious literature.
In 1726 he wrote in his tract Dagon fallen upon his stumps, `Is it not as gross an Absurdity to say, the One God of Heaven and Earth, is Three or Four Persons, as to say, the One King of Great Britain and Ireland, is Three or Four Persons?
