		Peacock's grandfather was a master in the Royal Navy, and the young Thomas Love was brought up by his mother at Chertsey in his grandfather's house.
		Peacock had suggested somewhat tongue-in-cheek, that since poetry had degenerated into the pursuit of a sort of pseudo-simplicity, the talents of poets would be more usefully employed in the new sciences improving the world.
		Peacock's favourite setting was a country house; a group of eccentric guests are seated at a table, eating, drinking sherry or ale, laughing, and embarking on witty or ridiculous discussions in which many common opinions of the day are criticized.

	Introduction by Richard Garnett, to ‘Headlong Hall’ by Thomas Love Peacock
		Peacock is described at this period as a remarkably handsome boy; his copious flaxen curls, afterwards brown, attracted the notice of Queen Charlotte, who stopped her carriage to kiss him.

		Peacock's position in the intellectual world was intended by him to have been expressed by the motto on his seal: “Nec tardum opperior, nec præcedentibus in sto”; but the first half of the precept was insufficiently observed by him.

		To rail against humanity for not being abstract perfection, and against human love for not realising all the splendid visions of the poets of chivalry, is to rail at the summer for not being all sunshine, and at the rose for not being always in bloom.

		The heroes are heroic (and just a little self-serving, though generous) the villains are villainous (and greedy!); and the tale is told as keenly as it can be.
		One difference is that Robin, the Earl of Locksley and Huntington, actually squandered away his fortune and poached the King's deer for love of the hunt rather than out of necessity.
