Description
Originally published in 1817, "Melincourt" is the second novel of Thomas Love Peacock. The story revolves around a civilised ourang-outang known as Sir Oran Haut-ton, mimicking humanity. Sir Oran is elected Member of Parliament for the rotten borough of Onevote and finds himself completely at home in London society. Thomas Love Peacock (18 October 1785 - 23 January 1866) was an English poet, novelist, and important figure in the East India Company. A good friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley, they both had a significant influence on each other's work. Peacock was most famous for writing satirical novels, which usually involved characters sat around a table discussing contemporary philosophical ideas. Other notable works by this author include: "Headlong Hall" (1815), "Melincourt" (1817), and "Nightmare Abbey" (1818). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition.
