Question

which writer did Thomas Love Peacock base the character of Scythrop Glowry in his Gothic parody Nightmare Abbey?

Answer 1

The character of Mr. Flosky is apparently based on the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In fact all the characters are mouthpieces for Peacock's wit and satire. The main one, Scythrop, is based on Peacock's friend, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and is more a case of Peacock humorously poking fun than a bitter parody.
