Paperback. Zustand: New. P-Wave Classics edition. Witty, irreverent, and brilliantly satirical reimaginings of medieval legend, Maid Marian and The Misfortunes of Elphin are Thomas Love Peacock's most playful and subversive novels.In Maid Marian (1822), Peacock transforms the Robin Hood legend into a riotous political and social satire. Here, Marian is no passive heroine but a bold and resourceful leader, outmatching both outlaws and aristocrats alike. Through razor-sharp dialogue and comic absurdity, Peacock ridicules the conventions of chivalry, monarchy, and feudal society, offering a refreshingly modern take on the legendary outlaw's tale.In The Misfortunes of Elphin (1829), Peacock ventures into the mythical past of Wales, blending Arthurian romance, bardic tradition, and biting political satire. The hapless Prince Elphin, his formidable wife Angharad, and the ever-wise bard Taliesin navigate a world of floods, courtly intrigue, and an amusingly incompetent King Arthur. Filled with brilliantly anachronistic wit and wry observations on power and fate, this is Peacock at his most inventive.Brimming with mock-heroic adventure, literary parody, and philosophical humour, these two novels remain as subversive and entertaining today as when they were first published. This edition includes a new introduction that explores the historical and literary influences behind Peacock's satire, making it an essential addition to the library of any lover of classic literature, Arthurian myth, or historical comedy.Perfect for lovers of Arthurian myth, Robin Hood retellings, and the playful satire of Cervantes and Swift.Edited with notes and an introduction by L.A. Davenport.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. P-Wave Classics edition. Two sparkling social satires on progress, tradition, and the absurdities of intellectual fashion.A master of comic wit and biting satire, Thomas Love Peacock turns his sharp eye to the ideological battles of 19th-century Britain in Crotchet Castle and Gryll Grange, his final two novels. Blending humour, erudition, and playful irreverence, these brilliant comedies explore the follies of intellectual fashion, the tension between modernity and tradition, and the eternal question of what makes a life truly worth living.In Crotchet Castle (1831), an eccentric country house becomes the stage for an animated clash of ideas, as economists, reformers, medievalists, and scientists debate the future of society. With a cast of unforgettable characters-including pompous political theorists, utopian dreamers, and champions of outdated aristocratic values-Peacock offers a hilarious yet insightful critique of grandiose ideologies and social dogma.In Gryll Grange (1860), Peacock's final novel, the satire is softened with a charming reflection on love, leisure, and the simple pleasures of life. The cultured and independent-minded Mr. Falconer, weary of modernity's relentless pace, chooses a life of quiet retreat-until romance and a new generation of reformers challenge his convictions. With its elegant prose, sparkling dialogues, and a subtle undercurrent of nostalgia, Gryll Grange is Peacock's most philosophical and reflective work.Perfect for fans of Jane Austen's comedy of manners, Oscar Wilde's razor-sharp wit, and the intellectual playfulness of Laurence Sterne, Crotchet Castle and Gryll Grange showcases Peacock at his most incisive, entertaining, and relevant.This P-Wave Classics edition brings these two novels together in a single volume, making them available to a new generation of readers who delight in satire, conversation, and the pleasures of the mind.Edited with notes and an introduction by L.A. Davenport.…
