In Nightmare Abbey, one of the gayest of nineteenth-century conversation pieces, several of Peacock's friends were portrayed - Shelley in the guise of the romantic young idealist Scythrop, Coleridge as the metaphysical Dr. Flosky. Shelley, in Italy, was delighted with the novel, and give the name of Scythrop's Tower to the tower in which he was working at Valsovano.
