Paperback. Etat : New. P-Wave Classics edition. Witty, irreverent, and brilliantly satirical reimaginings of medieval legend, Maid Marian and The Misfortunes of Elphin are Thomas Love Peacock's most playful and subversive novels.In Maid Marian (1822), Peacock transforms the Robin Hood legend into a riotous political and social satire. Here, Marian is no passive heroine but a bold and resourceful leader, outmatching both outlaws and aristocrats alike. Through razor-sharp dialogue and comic absurdity, Peacock ridicules the conventions of chivalry, monarchy, and feudal society, offering a refreshingly modern take on the legendary outlaw's tale.In The Misfortunes of Elphin (1829), Peacock ventures into the mythical past of Wales, blending Arthurian romance, bardic tradition, and biting political satire. The hapless Prince Elphin, his formidable wife Angharad, and the ever-wise bard Taliesin navigate a world of floods, courtly intrigue, and an amusingly incompetent King Arthur. Filled with brilliantly anachronistic wit and wry observations on power and fate, this is Peacock at his most inventive.Brimming with mock-heroic adventure, literary parody, and philosophical humour, these two novels remain as subversive and entertaining today as when they were first published. This edition includes a new introduction that explores the historical and literary influences behind Peacock's satire, making it an essential addition to the library of any lover of classic literature, Arthurian myth, or historical comedy.Perfect for lovers of Arthurian myth, Robin Hood retellings, and the playful satire of Cervantes and Swift.Edited with notes and an introduction by L. A. Davenport.…

Paperback. Etat : New. P-Wave Classics edition. A romantic dreamer, a sceptical world and the perilous power of booksVolume I of a two-volume editionFirst published in 1752, Charlotte Lennox's The Female Quixote; or, The Adventures of Arabella is one of the great comic novels of the eighteenth century. In Volume I of this restored two-volume edition, Arabella, the daughter of a marquess, forms her understanding of life and love from the heroic romances of seventeenth-century France. Convinced that noble suitors, desperate rivalries, and perilous adventures await her, she moves through the modern world guided by the logic of an earlier age, leaving confusion and fascination in her wake.Celebrated by Samuel Johnson and admired by Henry Fielding, Lennox's novel is far more than a lively parody. It is a subtle and perceptive exploration of how reading shapes imagination, expectation, and desire, and of the freedoms and constraints placed upon women in eighteenth-century society. Arabella emerges as one of the most original heroines in English fiction: intellectually formidable, morally serious, and magnificently out of step with her time.This P-Wave Classics edition restores the novel in its original form, presenting a carefully established text based on the 1752 edition, with modernised spelling for clarity. Volume I includes a new introduction, an essay on The World of French Romance, and a detailed Glossary of the Romance World, offering readers a rich guide to the literary universe that shaped Arabella's mind.Edited with notes and an introduction by L.A. Davenport.…
