In a fresh reading of Gulliver's Travels and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Atkins draws parallels between the protagonists: both Lemuel Gulliver and Stephen Dedalus flee from the burdens of life, seeking a transcendent existence. The study sheds important new light on both novels as essential critiques of modern misunderstandings.

G. Douglas Atkins is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Kansas, USA, where he taught for 44 years. The winner of several awards for outstanding teaching, he is the author of eighteen books and co-editor of three others, including Swift's Satires on Modernism: Battlegrounds of Reading and Writing and six on T.S. Eliot. He is now at work on three other books.

1. Satire, Reading, and Forms of Separation and Union 2. The Gift Half Understood 3. The Flight of Man, the Fall of Icarus and Phaeton 4. The Flying or Floating Island: Lemuel Gulliver and Ideas Disembodied 5. Aesthetics as Asceticism: Stephen Dedalus's Quest of Transcendence 6. It's All About Caring and Not-Caring at the Same Time: Or, Home Is Where You Start From
