Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plays of Thomas Love Peacock: Published for the First Time None of the collective editions of Peacock's works make any reference to these plays. Indeed, the only allusion to them is a cursory notice of a few lines in Sir Henry Cole's 'Biographical Notes of T. L. Peacock,' of which ten copies were printed and privately circulated about the year 1875. Yet the fact of this poet and novelist being a playwright as well should not come as a complete surprise. Mrs. Clarke states in her short biographical notice of her grandfather that while on board the Venerable as far back as 1808 he used to write prologues for the plays acted by the sailors. We know also that he contributed a prologue and epilogue for Tobin's comedy of 'The Guardians,' which appeared on the stage eight years later.

Download or read book The Three Doctors A Musical Farce in Two Acts written by Thomas Love Peacock and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Three Doctors” is a musical play in two acts by English writer Thomas Love Peacock, first published in 1903. A musical farce, it aims at entertaining the audience through a highly exaggerated, extravagant, and thus improbable situation. This play concerns doctors and their contemporary role in English society, presented in a satirical and highly amusing musical form. Imbued with Peacock's cutting wit and famous social commentary, it is highly recommended for lovers of the stage and entertaining societal critique. 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), “Gryll Grange” (1861), and “Melincourt” (1817). 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 complete with intoductory essays by Sir Walter Raleigh and Virginia Woolf.

This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic of alternative biography and feminist writing, this empathetic and witty book gives due to a "lesser" figure of history, Mary Ellen Peacock Meredith, who was brilliant, unconventional, and at odds with the constraints of Victorian life. “Many people have described the Famous Writer presiding at his dinner table. . . . He is famous; everybody remembers his remarks. . . . We forget that there were other family members at the table—a quiet person, now muffled by time, shadowy, whose heart pounded with love, perhaps, or rage.” So begins The True History of the First Mrs. Meredith and Other Lesser Lives, an uncommon biography devoted to one of those “lesser lives.” As the author points out, “A lesser life does not seem lesser to the person who leads one.” Such sympathy and curiosity compelled Diane Johnson to research Mary Ellen Peacock Meredith (1821–1861), the daughter of the famous artist Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866) and first wife of the equally famous poet George Meredith (1828–1909). Her life, treated perfunctorily and prudishly in biographies of Peacock or Meredith, is here exquisitely and unhurriedly given its due. What emerges is the portrait of a brilliant, well-educated woman, raised unconventionally by her father only to feel more forcefully the constraints of the Victorian era. First published in 1972, Lesser Lives has been a key text for feminists and biographers alike, a book that reimagined what biography might be, both in terms of subject and style. Biographies of other “lesser” lives have since followed in its footsteps, but few have the wit, elegance, and empathy of Johnson’s seminal work.
