Descripción del artículo del vendedor

A smart ten volume set of the large paper edition of Thomas Love Peacock's works, limited to one hundred copies. Complete in ten volumes. Large paper edition, limited to one hundred copies of which this is number twenty-nine. With a frontispiece to each volume. A collection of works written by Thomas Love Peacock, an English novelist, poet, and official of the East India Company. Peacock is noted for his satirical novels, each with the same basic setting: characters at a table discussing and criticising the philosophical opinions of the day. Edited by Richard Garnett, a British scholar, librarian, biographer and poet who was keeper of printed books at British Museum from 1890 to 1899. This set contains: Calidore & Miscellanea, 1891. Being a collection of shorter works including Calidore: A Fragment of an Unfinished Romance, The Four Ages of Poetry, and Horae Dramaticae I-III, amongst others. Crochet Castle, 1891. Peacock assembles a group of eccentrics, each with a single monomaniacal obsession, and derives humour and social satire from their various interactions and conversations at Crochet Hall. Gryll Grange, 1891. Complete in two volumes. The author's final novel, beginning with a discussion around the dinner table of Mr. Gryll, in which his friend, the genial gourmet, the Rev. Dr. Opimian, holds forth on misnomers, fish, and the contemporary fashion for lectures. Headlong Hall, 1891. As four visitors arrive at Headlong Hall they find further guests and are lead through a series of dinners and Christmas celebrations by Squire Headlong. Maid Marian, 1891. A novella set against the backdrop of medieval England, focusing on themes of romance, adventure, and social justice. Following noble Matilda Fitzwater and her intended, the Earl of Huntingdon, who is embroiled in conflict with the king's authority. Melincourt, 1891. Complete in two volumes. A satirical novel in which an orangutan called Sir Oran Haut-ton is put forward as a candidate for election as a Member of Parliament. The Misfortunes of Elphin, 1891. A short historical romance set in sixth century Wales, which recounts the adventures of the bard Taliesin, the princes Elphin ap Gwythno, Seithenyn ap Seithyn, and King Arthur. Nightmare Abbey, 1891. A novella which makes good-natured fun of contemporary literary trends. It follows the fortunes of Christopher Glowry, a morose widower who lives with his only son Scythrop in the isolated family mansion, Nightmare Abbey. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing to the extremities and fading to the spines and board edges. The odd small mark. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean. With age toning and minor spotting to the endpapers. Previous owner's bookplate to the front pastedown. Very Good Indeed.…
