What is the author's style in Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift?

The language utilized in Gulliver's Travels is the language of the time (1700s) which means that while it is written in English, the way in which the sentences are constructed may make comprehension difficult for moderate to lower level readers. There are the inclusion of many words that have fallen from popular use, and many words that have been created by the author for the various fictional islands where the protagonist lands.
