🎉 Launch Day: Crotchet Castle & Gryll Grange is Here!

We are delighted to announce the publication of Crotchet Castle & Gryll Grange, the latest addition to the P-Wave Classics series. These two comic masterpieces by Thomas Love Peacock come together in one handsome volume that celebrates his razor-sharp wit, intellectual mischief and deep ambivalence about modern life and progress.

Peacock’s novels are unlike anything else in English literature: part drawing-room farce, part philosophical debate, part gentle rebellion against the age of reform. Crotchet Castle (1831) sets its characters afloat on the Thames in pursuit of truth and leisure, while Gryll Grange (1861), written three decades later, finds the humour and humanity in country life, utopian dreams, and tangled love plots.

This new edition features a fresh introduction, full notes and thoughtful design that balances readability with respect for the historical text. Whether you’re a long-time lover of Peacock or just discovering him for the first time, this volume offers a perfect entry point into his world.

We’re proud to bring this book into the world today, and we hope it finds readers who enjoy satire with a side of philosophy—and perhaps a good glass of hock or claret to go with it.
