Peacock’s seventh and final novel, published in 1861, brought a mellow tone to the author’s satire but found his discursive powers intact. Included are several poems, a wedding for eighteen, comedy, philosophy, and satire. An 1896 review in the
New York Times opined: ‘Sentimental adventures, love making, and festival making comprise the framework only of this singular work, which is full of learning, classical and strange, and rich in poetry.’
Giới thiệu về tác giả
Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866) was an English novelist and poet, an intimate of Shelley and other Romantic poets. His best-known novel, Nightmare Abbey (1818), was a satire of gothic novels and the Romantic movement. His death had a certain tragic irony: he succumbed to injuries sustained while attempting to rescue his books from a fire.
