Melincourt
by Thomas Love Peacock
It’s that very impressive thing, a novel of ideas that is also gripping and very funny too. It’s not new – Peacock wrote it to explore and satirise the contemporary debate, 20 years after Malthus first published – but it’s just as relevant today: it points out very clearly the inconsistencies of a fundamentally immoral situation.
