The seventh and final novel of Thomas Love Peacock followed the others after a silence of thirty 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 Peacock’s novels, Gryll Grange dissects the philosophy, manners and culture of his day through a sparkling cocktail of dialogue and poetry.
