Description
-
Here we see a Lilliputian teacher holding a book, giving a lecture. The image appears in an appendix to Gulliver’s travels to Lilliput, which follows the conclusion of Gulliver’s trip to Brobdingnag. Gulliver’s description of the Lilliputian education is very negative, saying that what is taught is simply superfluous, and not anything of substance, as his bias makes him think that the European model for education is the correct model. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
