Nightmare Abbey and Crotchet Castle
Oh - so this is what Romantic literature is all about! If only Dr Robert Peter Manwaring and myself had read this during our ill-fated dalliance with Byron at University, it would've been much less ill-fated. And much, much funnier.
It's got everything: mad stereotypes, owl-infested castles, secret chambers, completely made-up ridiculous words and huge dollops sarcasm, with even more sarcastic footnotes. Even better is the fact (from the notes I hasten to add - there's a reason I scraped a 2:2) Peacock was a close friend of Shelley and knew the other Romantics, making his piss-taking even more spot-on.
