International Conference on Thomas Love Peacock "The theme for this inaugural conference is general: proposals are invited which explore any aspect of Peacock's life, works, and influence." The Growth of the Later Novel: Thomas Love Peacock Read from the Cambridge History of English and American Literature : "After a not extensive, but, also, not inconsiderable, popularity during the period of his earlier production, the silence which Thomas Love Peacock imposed upon himself for thirty years, and the immense development of the novel during those same thirty, rather put him out of sight." Thomas Love Peacock Society This society attempts to popularise the eximious virtues of Peacock's novels and other works, as well as promoting the love of Classical learning which was a feature of his life and works.

fretmarks "The Troad is a fine field for conjecture and snipe-shooting, and a good scholar may exercise their feet and faculties to great advantage upon the spot" Monday, October 29, 2007 But Thomas Love Peacock isn't Depressing. Having just viewed, and for the first time, a photograph of Jeffers' self-built "Hawk Tower", I must immediately post an extract from Thomas Love Peacock's Nightmare Abbey, one of my favouritest books ever . No-one but Peacock ever mocked poetic pretensions with such love and humour. [Yes, Scythrop is a thinly-veiled Shelley; Flosky, a version of Coleridge]. He now became troubled with the passion for reforming the world. He built many castles in the air, and peopled them with secret tribunals, and bands of illuminati, who were always the imaginary instruments of his projected regeneration of the human species. As he intended to institute a perfect republic, he invested himself with absolute sovereignty over these mystical dispensers of liberty. He slept with Horrid Mysteries under his pillow, and dreamed of venerable eleutherarchs and ghastly confederates holding midnight conventions in subterranean caves. He passed whole mornings in his study, immersed in gloomy reverie, stalking about the room in his nightcap, which he pulled over his eyes like a cowl, and folding his striped calico dressing-gown about him like the mantle of a conspirator. 'Action,' thus he soliloquised, 'is the result of opinion, and to new-model opinion would be to new-model society. Knowledge is power; it is in the hands of a few, who employ it to mislead the many, for their own selfish purposes of aggrandisement and appropriation. What if it were in the hands of a few who should employ it to lead the many? What if it were universal, and the multitude were enlightened?
