A witty and clever tale, "Headlong Hall" it constitutes a must-read for fans of Peacock's wonderful work and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Thomas Love Peacock (18 October 1785 - 23 January 1866) was an English poet, novelist, and important figure in the East India Company. A good friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley, they both had a significant influence on each other's work. Peacock was most famous for writing satirical novels, which usually involved characters sat around a table discussing contemporary philosophical ideas.
