Titelkurzbeschreibung

This volume contains three novels by English novelist Thomas Love Peacock, including &quote;Headlong Hall&quote;, &quote;Nightmare Abbey&quote;, and &quote;Crotchet Castle&quote;. Thomas Love Peacock (18 October 1785 - 23 January 1866) was an English poet, novelist, and important figure in the East India Company. A good friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley, they both had a significant influence on each other's work. Peacock was most famous for writing satirical novels, which usually involved characters sat around a table discussing contemporary philosophical ideas. This collection is not to be missed by lovers of Peacock's marvellous work, and it would make for a fine addition to any discerning bookshelf. Other notable works by this author include: &quote;Maid Marian&quote; (1822), &quote;Gryll Grange&quote; (1861), and &quote;Melincourt&quote; (1817). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with intoductory essays by Sir Walter Raleigh and Virginia Woolf.
