Description
The Misfortunes of Elphin is a novel written by Thomas Love Peacock and published in 1829. The story is set in medieval Wales and follows the misfortunes of Prince Elphin, the son of King Maelgon, who is forced to flee his kingdom after his father is overthrown by a rival king. Elphin, along with his loyal friend and bard, Taliesin, embark on a journey to seek refuge in the court of King Arthur. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles and challenges, including battles with giants, encounters with mermaids, and political intrigue. The novel is a satirical take on medieval romance and chivalry, and Peacock uses humor and wit to poke fun at the conventions of the genre. The Misfortunes of Elphin is considered one of Peacock's best works and is praised for its clever writing, engaging characters, and unique blend of historical fiction and satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
