Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866) English novelist and poet who satirized the political and cultural scene of his time. Although he ridiculed well-known figures of the Romantic movement - William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron and others - his verbal attacks did not arouse open hostility. Usually Peacock assembles his characters in a country house, where they exchange opinions over a dinner table in a merry atmosphere. The 'Socratic dialogues' are leavened by songs, hilarious and extravagant episodes, and romantic love-plots. Beyond the sea, beyond the sea, My heart is gone, far, far from me; And ever on its track will flee My thoughts, my dreams, beyond the sea (from Crotchet Castle Thomas Love Peacock was born at Weymouth, in Dorset, the only son of a London glass merchant who died in 1788. Peacock's grandfather was a master in the Royal Navy, and the young Thomas Love was brought up by his mother at Chertsey in his grandfather's house. Peacock was educated at a private school in Englefield Green. His formal schooling in Greek, Latin, and French ended before he was 13, but throughout his life he read omnivorously in five languages. With the help of a modest inheritance form his father, Peacock was able to live as a man of letters. In 1812 Peacock met Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822), who greatly inspired his writing. Later they were friendly antagonists. Peacock also became Shelley's literary executor after his death. Peacock was drawn through Shelley into a wider literary circle, but his knowledge of classical literature also helped the younger poet. Peacock's satirical essay on the value of poetry

Return to the Author Menu of The Camelot Project at the University of Rochester Thomas Love Peacock Thomas Love Peacock is best remembered as one of the great satirists of the Romantic period. Early in his writing career he made use of the Arthurian legends, mainly for satire, amusement, and instruction. His first Arthurian story, "Satyrane; or, The Stranger in England," was written around 1811 or 1812, and completed in 1816. Satyrane refers to a character in Spenser's The Faerie Queen , one who is part beast, but has an innately virtuous will. This incomplete work is about a missionary stranded on an island after a shipwreck. "Satyrane" later became absorbed in another unfinished romance "Calidore," published in 1816. Like Satyrane, Calidore is a figure of courtesy from the Faerie Queen . Other Romantic writers had an interest in the Calidore figure such as John Keats and Robert Southey. Keats wrote an unfinished poem entitled "Calidore" during 1818. In Peacock's comic story, Calidore, on his way to London, arrives by boat on an island. He explains to some lounging travelers that he is following King Arthur's instructions for him to find a philosopher and a wife in London. In the next fragment he, and King Arthur's court, arrive on a deserted island. They are greeted by Greek gods and goddesses. With Arthur's instructions to enjoy himself on the island, Calidore becomes a reveler. This merging of different historical periods reflects Peacock's interest in opposing the Ancient and Modern worlds. Eventually Calidore gets to London. In a comic scene, he tries to exchange Arthurian gold coins for paper money. This tale, like his novels, illustrates Peacock's satirical approach to romances.

CHAPTER I N OTWITHSTANDING CHAPTER II O UR YOUTH was not unmindful of his engagement, and rising betimes, sent up his compliments to the rector of Bwlchpenbach to know if he was ready to accompany him to the vicarage. The ostler, by dint of knoching a the door and shouting "Ho! ho! ho! your reverence!" succeeded in waking the reluctant rector, and in extracting a response very oracular in its brevity, the purport of which was that he was too queasy to rise. The stranger therefore proceeded to the vicarage without him, where he found the lovely Ellen in the parlour alone, to whom he found himself under the awkward necessity of explaining that he came to breakfast by the vicar's invitation; for the vicar had been carried home in a state of profound sleep, and had continued in the same state sans intermission , so that his family necessarily remained in profound ignorance of his appointment. Ellen ran upstaies and knocked at her father's door to announce the starnger's arrival, but he vicar sympathised in queasiness with his friend the rector, and murmured an injuction to his wife and daughters to do the honours of the house. Miss Ap-Nanny, hearing her sister's communication, skipped down stairs by three steps at a time, determined not to let the stranger escape again without gratifying her curiosity about himself and his baot. Mrs Ap-Nanny, a grave and solemn matron, as silent as her husband, next made her appearance, and the beautiful hands of Ellen prepared the tea.

His unique whimsical novels are full of paradox, prejudice, curious learning, and witty dialogue, interspersed with occasional poems, and he satirizes contemporary ideas, outlooks, and attitudes in a prevailing comic tone. They include Headlong Hall Melincourt (1817), and Nightmare Abbey (1818), which has very little plot, consisting almost entirely of conversation expressing points of view on contemporary controversies and society. He published two romances, Maid Marian (1822) and Misfortunes of Elphin (1829), but returned to the form of Headlong Hall with his last and best novels, Crotchet Castle (1831) and Gryll Grange (1860). These mature works are written with greater assurance and are less concerned with purely contemporary affairs.
