Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866) was a linguist and scholar who spent much of his working life as an influential official of the East India Company. He had a wide circle of literary friends, which included Coleridge and Shelley, and his early works were poems, some of a considerable length. In 1815 his first novel, Headlong Hall, was published, and between that year and 1831, he published a further five novels. His final completed novel, Gryll Grange, was written in 1860 and published the following year. Peacock also produced a number of articles on literary and historical subjects, and some other long poems, which have faded into obscurity.

1) Headlong Hall - 1815
