  • "A tale of a widower and the son named after a venerated ancestor who one day hung himself out of boredom."@en
  • "But when Marionetta hinted that she was to leave the Abbey immediately, Scythrop snatched from its repository his ancestor's skull, filled it with Madeira, and presenting himself before Mr Glowry, threatened to drink off the contents if Mr Glowry did not immediately promise that Marionetta should not be taken from the Abbey without her own consent. Nightmare Abbey by Thomas Love Peacock is one of the most revered books of all time. Originally published in 1818, Nightmare Abbey is still beloved to this day!"
  • "Published in 1818, this nimble satire of gothic novels and Romanticism focuses on Christopher Glowry and his son, Scythrop, who dwell in their ancestral home of Nightmare Abbey. There, a succession of moody, melancholy philosophers and poets based on historical personages engage their hosts in debate, while young Scythrop pursues romance with various unobtainable women."@en
  • "Nightmare Abbey is a satirical novel, poking fun at the morbid obsessions of romantic literature. Peacock also took the opportunity to caricature and pillory actual historical figures. It centers around the melancholy gentleman and his son who inhabit Nightmare Abbey, their array of guests, and their depressing servants."
