The story centres on the melancholy Scythrop Glowry and a group of eccentric visitors whose conversations parody contemporary writers, philosophers and political thinkers. Witty and highly literary, the novel gently mocks Romantic pessimism, fashionable despair and the tendency of intellectuals to take themselves too seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216469049683,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421143712083,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/nightmare-abbey-folio-society-876","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
