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. Other notable works by this author include: "e;Headlong Hall"e; (1815), "e;Gryll Grange"e; (1861), and "e;Melincourt"e; (1817). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
