Nightmare Abbey (Dream Classics). E-book. Formato EPUB. <i>Nightmare Abbey</i>&nbsp;is a&nbsp;Gothic&nbsp;topical satire in which the author pokes light-hearted fun at the&nbsp;romantic movement&nbsp;in contemporary English literature, in particular its obsession with morbid subjects, misanthropy and&nbsp;transcendental philosophical systems. Most of the characters in the novella are based on historical figures whom Peacock wishes to pillory.<br />Insofar as&nbsp;<i>Nightmare Abbey</i>&nbsp;may be said to have a plot, it follows the fortunes of Christopher Glowry, Esquire, a morose widower who lives with his only son Scythrop in his semi-dilapidated family mansion Nightmare Abbey, which is situated on a strip of dry land between the sea and the fens in&nbsp;Lincolnshire.
