The Works Of Thomas Love Peacock Maid Marian Misfortunes Of Elphin Crotchet Castle Gryll Grange

Thomas Love Peacock was a witty, erudite, and irreverent writer whose works lampooned the society and politics of his time. In 'Maid Marian', he reimagines the Robin Hood legend as a satirical critique of Romanticism. In 'Misfortunes of Elphin', he parodies the medieval romance genre. In 'Crotchet Castle', he skewers the intellectual fads and follies of his contemporaries. And in 'Gryll Grange', he celebrates the pleasures of country life while poking fun at the eccentricities of his characters. This collection showcases Peacock's range and brilliance as a writer.
