Excerpt from Melincourt: Or Sir Oran Haut-Ton Melincourtis usually considered the least interesting of Peacock's novels; and in the strictly comparative sense that is to say that it is the least interesting of a group, every one of which has peculiar and exceptional interest - the statement is no doubt true. The defects of the book are very obvious, and exceedingly easy to account for. [jami long Hall had been very popular; and it was only in the course of nature that the author should repeat his successful experiment. But Head'long Hall had been by no means free from faults; and it certainly was not out of the course of nature that they should reappear in the new venture. In the very noteworthy introduction which the author wrote nearly forty years later, and which contains the promise of Gryll Grange as supplement to complete the satire, it is not unimportant to observe that he pays no attention to any thing but the satirical purport. A man of seventy, satiated with business and not specially hungering after popularity, was not perhaps very likely to discuss his own novels in detail, even to the extent to which Scott and other persons of irreproachable taste have discussed theirs in separate or collected editions. But it is not extravagant to take his silence as a kind of indication of his point of View. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Thomas Love Peacock (18 October 1785 - 23 January 1866) was an English novelist, poet, and official of the East India Company. He was a close friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley and they influenced each other's work. Peacock wrote satirical novels, each with the same basic setting: characters at a table discussing and criticising the philosophical opinions of the day Melincourt is the second novel of Thomas Love Peacock, published in 1817. It is based on the "idea of an orang-outang mimicking humanity" (see James Burnett, Lord Monboddo). An orangutan called Sir Oran Haut-Ton is put forward as a candidate for election as a Member of Parliamen

«Anthelia Melincourt, a la edad de veintiún años, era dueña de sí misma y de diez mil libras al año, y de un muy antiguo y venerable castillo en uno de los valles más salvajes de Westmoreland. (...) En este romántico retiro nació Anthelia. Su madre murió al dar a luz. Su padre, sir Henry Melincourt, hombre de grandes conocimientos y con inclinación al aislamiento, se dedicó en soledad al cultivo del entendimiento de su hija, pues era de esos que mantenían la herética noción de que las mujeres son, o al menos pueden ser, seres racionales.» Muerto sir Henry, Anthelia se ve rodeada de pretendientes indeseados a los que, por cortesía, mantiene, como Penélope, entretenidos en banquetes; pero solo consideraría casarse con un hombre que se atuviera a los altos ideales pasados de moda que ella atesora; cree «tan posible encontrar a un caballero andante con levita marrón en el siglo diecinueve, como a uno con armadura dorada en los días de Carlomagno». El azar se lo trae por partida doble: Sylvan Forester, filósofo rousseauniano y entregado altruista, incansablemente dispuesto a enfrentarse, con razones y con actos filantrópicos, a la corrupción y la tiranía, y su peculiar protegido y pupilo sir Oran Haut-ton --más dado a impartir «justicia natural» a mandobles a la manera carolingia--, que protagoniza los momentos más cómicos de la novela. Melincourt es una divertida sátira del corrupto y oligárquico sistema parlamentario británico durante la Regencia, (segunda década del s. XIX), en un país dominado por la reacción tradicionalista monárquica tras la derrota de la Francia revolucionaria. Peacock se implica como en ninguna de sus otras novelas con la actualidad política de un momento de gran desigualdad e inestabilidad social. Pero su burla más furiosa la dirige a los poetas que traicionaron los ideales progresistas de su juventud para convertirse en puntales ideológicos del dominio aristocrático: Southey, Wordsworth y Coleridge. Un avatar de Malthus, cuyas ideas sobre el control de la población dominaban el pensamiento político-económico en esos años, el Sr. Fax, y un «hombre de su tiempo», el Sr. Telegraph Paxarett, darán a Forester el contrapunto filosófico en las numerosas confrontaciones dialécticas que mantienen. Si para muchos sir Oran es el personaje más divertido de Peacock, Melicourt también contiene quizás las páginas más serias e ideológicamente explícitas del autor.T. L. Peacock (1786-1866) demuestra, en sus siete novelas, ser de la estirpe de Aristófanes, Rabelais y Swift. Incisivo escritor satírico y desenfadado humorista, trabaja su prosa con un gran estilo que sabe combinar la opereta con la dialéctica socrática, la contemplación poética con la farsa grotesca, el gag cómico con el debate filosófico, la prosa con el verso y el diálogo dramático. Su poesía temprana le valió la amistad del poeta P. B. Shelley, pero las novelas, que caricaturizaron a su amigo en varias ocasiones, además de a otros muchos personajes de la cultura y la política de su tiempo, merecieron también la admiración de Byron, Virginia Woolf, Aldous Huxley (que le utilizó como modelo en sus primeras novelas), Robertson Davies (otro discípulo) o Alberto Manguel.
