Thomas Love Peacock

Gryll Grange Thomas Love Peacock

Gryll Grange is the seventh and final novel of Thomas Love Peacock, published in 1861. The novel first appeared in Fraser's Magazine in 1860, showing a remarkable instance of vigour after his retirement from the East India Company. The exuberant humour of his former works may be wanting, but the book is delightful for its stores of anecdote and erudition, and unintentionally most amusing through the author's inveterate prejudices and pugnacious hostility to every modern innovation.
