   Extractions: A book that furnishes no quotations is, me judice, no book it is a plaything. There are two reasons for drinking; one is, when you are thirsty, to cure it; the other, when you are not thirsty, to prevent it . . . Prevention is better than cure. Respectable means rich, and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent. I never failed to convince an audience that the best thing they could do was to go away.

   Extractions: Thomas Love Peacock at age 72 Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866) is one of the most interesting as well as the most neglected of nineteenth century writers. His prose is intellectual and satirical, speaks only to the well educated and is unlikely to command a wide readership at the end of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, Peacock was a close friend of many major figures of his day, including Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822), both his wives Harriet Westbrook (who killed herself 1816) and Mary Godwin (1797-1851), Leigh Hunt (1784-1859), John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) and many others. He was Shelley's literary agent during the latter's absence abroad from 1818 to his death in 1822, and afterwards was the executor of Shelley's will. Born at Weymouth on 18 October, 1785, he entered the service of the East India Company in 1819, and in 1820 married Jane Gryffydh, daughter of the rector of Maentwrog in Wales. His daughter married the novelist George Meredith (1828-1909). Peacock became Chief Examiner of Indian Correspondence in 1836, retired from the East India Company in 1856, and died at Halliford-on-Thames at the age of 81 on 23 January, 1866. Peacock wrote both prose and poetry, but is best known for the former. For a selection of the shorter poems, click here

12. Thomas Love Peacock
    Rochester Thomas Love Peacock. 17851866. Thomas Love Peacock is bestremembered as one of the great satirists of the Romantic period.  
    http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/auth/peacobio.htm
    
    Extractions: His first Arthurian story, "Satyrane; or, The Stranger in England," was written around 1811 or 1812, and completed in 1816. Satyrane refers to a character in Spenser's The Faerie Queen , one who is part beast, but has an innately virtuous will. This incomplete work is about a missionary stranded on an island after a shipwreck. "Satyrane" later became absorbed in another unfinished romance "Calidore," published in 1816. Like Satyrane, Calidore is a figure of courtesy from the Faerie Queen . Other Romantic writers had an interest in the Calidore figure such as John Keats and Robert Southey. Keats wrote an unfinished poem entitled "Calidore" during 1818. In Peacock's comic story, Calidore, on his way to London, arrives by boat on an island. He explains to some lounging travelers that he is following King Arthur's instructions for him to find a philosopher and a wife in London. In the next fragment he, and King Arthur's court, arrive on a deserted island. They are greeted by Greek gods and goddesses. With Arthur's instructions to enjoy himself on the island, Calidore becomes a reveler. This merging of different historical periods reflects Peacock's interest in opposing the Ancient and Modern worlds. Eventually Calidore gets to London. In a comic scene, he tries to exchange Arthurian gold coins for paper money. This tale, like his novels, illustrates Peacock's satirical approach to romances.

    Extractions: Thomas Love Peacock was born at Weymouth, Dorset, and grew up in Chertsey, Surrey after his father's early death. He was educated privately after the age of thirteen and did not take paid employment until his mid-thirties when he worked as an official in the East India Company, retiring as their Examiner in 1856. He became a friend of Shelley in his late twenties and they enjoyed a literary relationship of mutual influence. He married in 1820 and had three daughters, whom he outlived. His novels are largely satirical with unusual social, political, and romantic themes. His poetry is mostly lyrical and also reflects his satirical, radical nature. Love and Age
