As both<em> "Gulliver's Travels" </em>and<em> "A Modest Proposal" </em>contained controversial political views, Swift wanted to protect himself from being attacked by the authorities. In the first book, he criticizes the English society and its leaders, while the latter is essentially a satire that points out the differences between the rich in England and the poor in Ireland. Swift even ironically proposes selling children as meat as a solution to poverty, which was an idea criticized by many.
