Overview
"Headlong Hall" is a novella by English novelist Thomas Love Peacock, first published in 1816. Peacock's first serious work of fiction, the plot concerns a group of eccentrics each suffering from monomania and their humorous and satirical conversations while at the country estate of Squire Harry Headlong Ap-Rhaiader, Esq., in Wales, England. A witty and clever tale, "Headlong Hall" it constitutes a must-read for fans of Peacock's wonderful work and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. 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: "Headlong Hall" (1815), "Melincourt" (1817), and "Nightmare Abbey" (1818). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with intoductory essays by Sir Walter Raleigh and Virginia Woolf.
