In raising the topic of Jonathan Swift and queerness, we might just as plausibly ask: what is not queer about Swift? From the strangely erotic spectacle of libidinous Yahoos in Gulliver's Travels (1726) to his gruesome suggestion to cannibalise Irish children in A Modest Proposal (1729), Swift's satire singularly bristles with queer potential. The six articles in this supplement variously offer queer theoretical and pedagogical engagements with Swift's work, while also, importantly, foregrounding how Swift's writing was queer and queering in its own time. This introduction presents a brief case study in queering Swift before surveying the articles that feature in this 'Queer Swift' supplement.

简介：斯威夫特的古怪

在提出乔纳森·斯威夫特和古怪的话题时，我们可能会这样问：斯威夫特不奇怪吗？从《格列佛游记》（1726年）中色情狂的雅虎奇特的色情场面到他在《谦虚的提议》（1729年）中刺杀爱尔兰儿童的令人毛骨悚然的建议，斯威夫特的讽刺作品都将奇异的鬃毛奇趣无比。本增刊中的六篇文章以不同的方式为Swift的作品提供了理论和教学上的帮助，同时，重要的是，着重介绍了Swift的写作在当时是如何受到关注和关注的。在介绍“ Queer Swift”增刊中的特色文章之前，此简介提供了一个有关酷炫Swift的简短案例研究。
