Published in 1818, this nimble satire of gothic novels and Romanticism focuses on Christopher Glowry and his son, Scythrop, who dwell in their ancestral home of Nightmare Abbey. There, a succession of moody, melancholy philosophers and poets—based on historical personages—engage their hosts in debate, while young Scythrop pursues romance with various unobtainable women.

Über den Autor
Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866) was an English novelist and poet, an intimate of Shelley and other Romantic poets. His best-known novel, Nightmare Abbey (1818), was a satire of gothic novels and the Romantic movement. His death had a certain tragic irony: he succumbed to injuries sustained while attempting to rescue his books from a fire.
