Collected Stories

'Collected Stories' is, as one can guess from the title, a collection of tales written by the author, Thomas Love Peacock. He was an English novelist, poet, and official of the East India Company. He was a close friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley and they influenced each other's work. Peacock wrote satirical novels, each with the same basic setting: characters at a table discussing and criticizing the philosophical opinions of the day.
