Book Description
Excerpt from Thomas Love Peacock: A Critical Study Yet as we piece together the scanty and ln sufiicient notices, Shelley's discarded theory hovers near and obtrudes itself at intervals, now calling for confirmation, now emphasising a remarkable contradiction, and anon arresting the attention at some hardly noticeable cir cumstance, asking whether or no this is a true instance of the manifestation of the principle. There is a strange congruence, a harmonious cohesion in some of his otherwise unrelated actions, utterances and aspirations, as though Nature and Fortune, making use of him some times as a confederate and at other moments as an unconscious agent, were striving to impart to his 'fe, with its experiences and accomplish ments, that unity which he as a philosopher would have approved, and which seems so signally lacking in the careers of most men, whose history more often presents a uniformity of aimlessness.
