Return to the Author Menu of The Camelot Project at the University of Rochester Thomas Love Peacock Thomas Love Peacock is best remembered as one of the great satirists of the Romantic period. Early in his writing career he made use of the Arthurian legends, mainly for satire, amusement, and instruction. His first Arthurian story, "Satyrane; or, The Stranger in England," was written around 1811 or 1812, and completed in 1816. Satyrane refers to a character in Spenser's The Faerie Queen , one who is part beast, but has an innately virtuous will. This incomplete work is about a missionary stranded on an island after a shipwreck. "Satyrane" later became absorbed in another unfinished romance "Calidore," published in 1816. Like Satyrane, Calidore is a figure of courtesy from the Faerie Queen . Other Romantic writers had an interest in the Calidore figure such as John Keats and Robert Southey. Keats wrote an unfinished poem entitled "Calidore" during 1818. In Peacock's comic story, Calidore, on his way to London, arrives by boat on an island. He explains to some lounging travelers that he is following King Arthur's instructions for him to find a philosopher and a wife in London. In the next fragment he, and King Arthur's court, arrive on a deserted island. They are greeted by Greek gods and goddesses. With Arthur's instructions to enjoy himself on the island, Calidore becomes a reveler. This merging of different historical periods reflects Peacock's interest in opposing the Ancient and Modern worlds. Eventually Calidore gets to London. In a comic scene, he tries to exchange Arthurian gold coins for paper money. This tale, like his novels, illustrates Peacock's satirical approach to romances.

He ranks high as a comic novelist of ideas. Thomas Love Peacock, the son of a London merchant, was educated for a business career and not for a life of artistic pursuits. Finding work in an office uncongenial, he was able to leave his job and to live for a while on his inherited income. During these years he began to write poetry, and he became a close friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley. After the poet's death, Peacock became his literary executor and edited a volume of memorials. Peacock married Jane Gryffydh, a lady mentioned in glowing terms in Shelley's poem "Letter to Maria Gisborne." In this period Peacock also began to write the satirical novels on which his reputation rests. The first group includes

His reading and his thinking ran together; there is free quotation, free play of wit and satire, grace of invention too, but always unconventional. The story is always pleasant, although always secondary to the play of thought for which it gives occasion.

The Thomas Love Peacock Page Thomas Love Peacock at age 72 Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866) is one of the most interesting as well as the most neglected of nineteenth century writers. His prose is intellectual and satirical, speaks only to the well educated and is unlikely to command a wide readership at the end of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, Peacock was a close friend of many major figures of his day, including Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822), both his wives Harriet Westbrook (who killed herself 1816) and Mary Godwin (1797-1851), Leigh Hunt (1784-1859), John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) and many others. He was Shelley's literary agent during the latter's absence abroad from 1818 to his death in 1822, and afterwards was the executor of Shelley's will. Born at Weymouth on 18 October, 1785, he entered the service of the East India Company in 1819, and in 1820 married Jane Gryffydh, daughter of the rector of Maentwrog in Wales. His daughter married the novelist George Meredith (1828-1909). Peacock became Chief Examiner of Indian Correspondence in 1836, retired from the East India Company in 1856, and died at Halliford-on-Thames at the age of 81 on 23 January, 1866. Peacock wrote both prose and poetry, but is best known for the former. For a selection of the shorter poems, click here

My influences included Shelly, Byron, Leigh Hunt, Wordsworth, Colderidge. Thomas Love Peacock was born in 1785, in Dorset, at Weymouth. He was the son of a glass merchant, who died three years after he was born. He was raised at his grandfather's house in Chertsey, by his mother. Despite the fact that his formal schooling ended before his teens (he never attended a university), it is important to note that he read widely in five languages throughout his lifetime. When he could no longer support himself without working, he took a job in 1819 with the East India Company. The next year, he married Jane Gryffydh, daughter to a Welsh rector. Peacock's daughter later married George Meredith, also a literary man.

With little playmates, to and fro, But that was sixty years ago. You grew a lovely roseate maiden, And still our early love was strong; Still with no care our days were laden, They glided joyously along; And I did love you very dearly, How dearly words want power to show; But that was fifty years ago. Then other lovers came around you, Your beauty grew from year to year, And many a splendid circle found you The centre of its glittering sphere. I saw you then, first vows forsaking, On rank and wealth your hand bestow; But that was forty years ago. And I lived on, to wed another: No cause she gave me to repine; And when I heard you were a mother, I did not wish the children mine. My own young flock, in fair progression, Made up a pleasant Christmas row: My joy in them was past expression;
