Publisher's Summary
A Thomas Love Peacock Collection
Narration by Graham Scott
Also featuring the voices of Alan Weyman, Denis Daly, Rachel May, and Terah Tucker.
Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866) was a linguist and scholar who spent much of his working life as an influential official of the East India Company. He had a wide circle of literary friends, which included Coleridge and Shelley, and his early works were poems, some of a considerable length. In 1815 his first novel, Headlong Hall, was published, and between that year and 1831, he published a further five novels. His final completed novel, Gryll Grange, was written in 1860 and published the following year. Peacock also produced a number of articles on literary and historical subjects, and some other long poems, which have faded into obscurity.
This collection contains the following titles:
1) Headlong Hall - 1815
2) Nightmare Abbey - 1818
3) Maid Marian - 1822
4) The Misfortunes of Elphin - 1829
