The seventh and final novel of Thomas Love Peacock followed the others after a silence of 30 years, its typical Peacockian format intact: an idyllic, country house setting, a genial host, many opinionated guests, and a romantic love interest. Like all of Peacock's novels, "Gryll Grange" dissects the philosophy, manners, and culture of his day through a sparkling cocktail of dialogue and poetry.
