Thomas Love Peacock: Headlong Hall


A satirical novel written by Thomas Love Peacock in 1815; The novel provides social satire and humor at the expense of a group of eccentrics, each embodying a different monomaniacal obsession, and their interactions throughout society. Interestingly enough the entire novel can be found for free on the web. As this was written in the 19th century it has excellent diction, and one need only read it to bolster their vocabulary. I was an avid fan of 18th and 19th century literature in highschool, but decided to post this novel as it is readily available on the web. Below is a link:
