About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Headlong Hall, by Thomas Love Peacock. Dramatically read by various readers. Headlong Hall is the first novel by Thomas Love Peacock, published in 1815 (dated 1816). As in his later novel Crotchet Castle, Peacock assembles a group of eccentrics, each with a single monomaniacal obsession, and derives humor and social satire from their various interactions and conversations. The setting is the country estate of Squire Harry Headlong Ap-Rhaiader, Esq. in Wales. (Summary by Wikipedia)
