About the book

Thomas Love Peacock's Crotchet Castle is a satirical novel in which a group of eccentric guests gather at the country house of the wealthy Mr Crotchet. Through conversation, argument and comic incident, Peacock sends up contemporary politics, economics, philosophy, science and social reform. The book is less a conventional plot-driven novel than a witty intellectual comedy populated by characters who embody competing ideas and fashionable theories.
