The Battle of the Books

About this film

LibriVox recording of The Battle of the Books by Jonathan Swift. Read in English by Elijah Fisher "The Battle of the Books" 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. It is one of his earliest well-known works.
