Swift published "A Modest Proposal" and "Gulliver's Travels" anonymously to protect himself from potential backlash and criticism for the controversial and satirical content in these works. Publishing anonymously allowed Swift to distance himself from the radical ideas presented in the texts, while still critiquing societal issues and political structures of the time.
