Thomas Love Peacock's sixth novel, Crotchet Castle (1831), is full of the humour and social satire for which Peacock is so highly regarded. This comprehensive scholarly edition, the first for more than forty years, includes a full introduction, annotations and other essential textual and scholarly apparatus.
Thomas Love Peacock (1785?1866) is one of the most distinctive prose satirists of the Romantic period. The Cambridge Edition of the Novels of Thomas Love Peacock offers the first complete text of his novels to appear for more than half a century. Crotchet Castle (1831), his sixth novel, contains all the humour and social satire for which Peacock is famous. Its lively farce is more ambitious than that of the earlier works in its range of cultural and intellectual targets, including progressivism, dogmatism, liberalism, sexism, mass education and the idiocies of the learned. The book constitutes an artistic, political and philosophical miscellany of sorts, thematically unified in its satirical emphasis on folly and dispute – and on the folly of dispute itself. This edition provides a full introduction, chronology, annotations and detailed textual and scholarly apparatus.
