Gryll Grange

Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866) was an English novelist, poet, and offi cial of the East India Company. The fi nal novel of Thomas Love Peacock followed the others after a silence of 30
years, its typical Peacockian format intact: an idyllic, country house setting, a genial host, many opinionated guests, and a romantic love interest. Like all of Peacocks novels, Gryll Grange dissects the philosophy, manners, and culture of his day through a
sparkling cocktail of dialogue and poetry.
