A perfect pleasure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Peacock deserves a far wider readership. The modesty of a man whose books could have been dressed up as classics but were left as the iridescent sports they are is awesome. Wholly satisfying, these anticipate Joyce's and look back to Sterne's comprehensive neutrality. Gryll Grange: greatest novel of the nineteenth century? Certainly the subtlest intellectually.
