Discover the wit and sharp satire of Thomas Love Peacock in this new edition of Headlong Hall and Nightmare Abbey. These two brilliant novels weave humour and philosophy into tales that mock the extremes of human thought and intellectual fads.

In Headlong Hall, Squire Headlong gathers a colourful cast of guests at his Welsh estate to debate progress, nature, and society, each clinging to their own exaggerated ideals. Peacock’s playful critique of intellectual extremes is as entertaining as it is insightful.

Nightmare Abbey shifts to a darker, more introspective satire, following the melancholic Scythrop Glowry as he navigates Romantic despair within his family’s gloomy mansion. With characters inspired by Shelley and Byron, Peacock’s humour shines through the gloom.

This edition, with new introductions and notes by L.A. Davenport, brings Peacock’s timeless critique of Romanticism and societal quirks to life for a new generation of readers.
