Nightmare Abbey is a novella by Thomas Love Peacock, first published in 1818, widely considered to be Peacock’s most enduringly popular work. The narrative centres on Christopher Glowry, a miserly widower, his son Scythrop and a host of dismal-sounding servants in his family pile, Nightmare Abbey. Recovering from an ill-fated love affair, Scythrop dreams up various schemes to reform and regenerate the human species, but misanthropy lurks around every corner, and everything changes when a mermaid is spotted and a strange woman appears in his chamber. Although fundamentally a Gothic novel, and rich in allusion – from Pope to Dante, Rossini to Mozart – Nightmare Abbey is, at heart, a satire, as Peacock makes clear in the preface to a later edition, in which he describes the characters – allusions to his friends – as ‘status-quo-ites’, ‘morbid visionaries’, ‘romantic enthusiasts’ and ‘lovers of good dinners’. 'Every quarter century, like clockwork, there is a Peacock revival.' — Gore Vidal 'Great mental powers on display in such lightly told tales.' — Christopher Hawtree, The Guardian
The life of Thomas Love Peacock, born in 1785, is marked by a blend of literary ambition and a career in commerce. Initially self-taught, he published notable works including "Headlong Hall" and "Nightmare Abbey," establishing himself in the satirical novel genre. His literary contributions spanned poetry and prose, with significant works like "The Four Ages of Poetry," which sparked debate with Shelley. Balancing his literary pursuits with a successful career in the East India Company, Peacock's passion for writing persisted until his death in 1866, following a tragic fire.
