导读

斯威夫特在早年就接触了当时的社会政治，开始养成分析事物的才能和敏锐的观察力，他在穆尔庄面读了不少古典，但他也受到吞浦尔“崇古非今”倾向的影响，本书就是在这一时期创作的。名著古今作品孰优孰劣问题在17世纪末的英国学术界引起了一场争论。

内容简介

The Battle of the Books is the name of a short satire written by Jonathan Swift and published as part of the prolegomena to his A Tale of a Tub in 1704. It depicts a literal battle between books in the King's Library (housed in St. James's Palace at the time of the writing), as ideas and authors struggle for supremacy. Because of the satire, "The Battle of the Books" has become a term for the Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns.
