Nightmare Abbey and Other Novels by Thomas Love Peacock

NIGHTMARE ABBEY AND OTHER NOVELS includes five works by noted Victorian Gothic satirist Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866). While Peacock wrote in the Gothic tradition, he used it to satirize contemporary British society, criticizing class distinctions, philosophy, religion, and Victorian morality.

His most famous work, NIGHTMARE ABBEY, pokes fun at the Romantic movement's fascination with misanthropy, the supernatural, and transcendental philosophy through the agency of a reclusive widower, Christopher Glowry, Esquire, and his only son, Scythrop who live alone in dilapidated mansion.
