About this title

Synopsis

The Emperor's Rout; The Peacock At Home is a book written by M. Gauci and published in 1831. The book is a satirical commentary on the social and political events of the time, with a focus on the excesses and frivolities of the upper classes. The title refers to two separate sections of the book, The Emperor's Rout and The Peacock At Home, which both depict the opulence and extravagance of the aristocracy.The Emperor's Rout describes a grand procession of the Emperor and his court, complete with elaborate costumes, carriages, and horses. The Peacock At Home, on the other hand, depicts a lavish party thrown by a wealthy nobleman, filled with dancing, drinking, and gambling. Throughout both sections, Gauci uses sharp wit and biting humor to critique the excesses and superficiality of the elite.The book is also notable for its detailed illustrations, which bring to life the extravagant scenes described in the text. These illustrations were created by Gauci himself, who was a talented artist in addition to being a writer.Overall, The Emperor's Rout; The Peacock At Home is a witty and insightful commentary on the social and political climate of early 19th century England, with a focus on the excesses and frivolities of the upper classes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
