"Gryll Grange" by Thomas Love Peacock is a novel published in 1861. In this witty final work, the eccentric Mr. Gryll hopes to find a suitable husband for his particular niece Morgana, who has rejected countless suitors. Enter the reclusive Mr. Falconer, who lives in a tower attended by seven mysterious sisters and devoted to contemplating ideal beauty. As Christmas approaches and guests gather at Gryll Grange, romantic entanglements multiply while the
characters debate ancient wisdom versus modern progress through elaborate dinners, classical quotations, and an Aristophanic comedy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
