"The Deepest Designs of a Discontented Party"

The "anagrammatic method" is a key to unearthing the secrets of Gulliver's Travels. Henrion and I have cracked over half of the more than 100 words in anagram in Gulliver's Travels. So there is much more to be done.

The best place to start is looking at the various factors that influenced Jonathan Swift's life and art before the writing of Gulliver's Travels.

There is much hard work to be done by those who know Eighteenth Century history and the workings of Swift's mind.
As Sir Charles Firth wrote,

A critic who seeks to explain the significance of Gulliver's Travels may be guilty of too much ingenuity, but he cannot fairly be charged with exaggerated curiosity. He is searching for a secret which Swift tells us is hidden there, and endeavoring to solve riddles which were intended to exercise his wits. ^[1]

For those who enjoy anagrams and acrostics, I recommend the anagrams of Gulliver's Travels as a real challenge, and will happily post any credible new solutions in these pages, giving credit where credit is due.
