Thomas Love Peacock

Thomas Love Peacock

Thomas Love Peacock (October 18, 1785 - January 23, 1866) was an English satirist and author.

Peacock was a close friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley and they influenced each other's work. He wrote satirical novels, each with the same basic setting — characters at a table discussing and criticizing the philosophical opinions of the day.

He worked for the British East India Company.
