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.
