Headlong Hall and Nightmare Abbey
first published 1850 Book on Demand Ltd., 2022 hardcover 180 pages
These two novels contain characters who are either representative types, or thinly veiled caricatures of Peacock's contemporaries, who gather in country houses to eat, drink and discuss. These tales poke fun at contemporary attitudes and ideas, such as the Romantic literary movement.
