Suitably sublime
By V. G. Harwood
This is a lovely parody of the Gothic genre with loads going on in it, most of which had me chuckling along with it and some of which had me laughing out loud. (I particularly liked the appearance of the "spectre" draped in a white sheet and a bloody-red turban, which drove poor old Mr Toobad to dive out of the window and into the moat, only to be netted by Mr Asterias and his son Aquarius, thinking that they had, at last, captured a mermaid.) I also loved the gentle mockery of the poetic giants of the day (Byron and Shelley). Finally, like all gothic parodies, I really felt that this had some true gothic horrors at its heart (Scythrop's misfortunes in love - either at the mercy of the conniving and flirtatious Marionnetta or dependent on the whims of the gothic heroine fleeing from her "enforced marriage" Celinda, social faux-pas, philosophy along the Burkean sublime lines, comical servants and a suitably ruined gothic setting). Marvellous.

Fresh and delightful satire
By RachelD
A delightfully zany tale of Gothic goings on. While some - or perhaps many - references to classical, historical, philosophical, and literary sources may be elusive for the modern reader it hardly matters, because the writing fizzes along and the characters sparkle wonderfully. And the tantalising references may well send you off to consult Kant, Byron, Dr Johnson and any number of 'lady novelists' of the age! It may be a hilarious Gothic satire, but human nature reveals itself on every page, and indeed a page-turner it is.

Spitting Image 200 years ago.
By Melvyn Elphee
A lovely romp - I haven't enjoyed this kind of thing so much since Cold Comfort Farm (Stella Gibbons) and Summer Moonshine (P.G. Wodehouse - much more fun than the better known Jeeves stuff). Just the right length - Peacock doesn't overdo it. But I suppose its appeal is limited to those of a literary bent - though with the ready availability of so much excellent free or cheap material from the 19th Century, our numbers should be growing. I would recommend a quick brush up on Shelley and Byron first (Wikipedia does the job well enough) to maximise Peacock's wicked spitting images.
