Gulliver's Travels
This is a well-designed site that not only provides an e-text of Gulliver's Travels but includes a number of study aids as well. It provides a dictionary of annotations and definitions, a timeline of the novel and Swift's life, and a number of related illustrations. It also contains a large number of links to sites related to Gulliver's Travels and student essays and projects on the web.

Samuel Johnson on Swift
The e-text of Samuel Johnson's derisory first hand account of Jonathan Swift. This essay from his Lives of the Poets casts doubt upon Swift's authorship of some of his work and speculates about Swift's discredited secret marriage to Esther Johnson.
