5/11/2023 0 Comments Titus Groan by Mervyn PeakeGormenghast ( 1950) is closely linked to that first volume, but it is clear that Peake never intended to compose a trilogy per se Titus Alone (cut 1959 reconstructed from manuscript by Langdon Jones 1970) – a text the author was unable to take beyond draft form due to the onset of the disease which killed him – ends at a point that Peake did not intend as a definitive terminus. He was initially better regarded as an artist than as a writer and, although he had published several volumes of Poetry during and after World War Two, the poetic density of Titus Groan ( 1946) was unexpected. (1911-1968) UK poet, artist and author, born in China, where he lived until he was twelve in a missionary compound, embedded into a land as strange to Western eyes as the country surrounding Gormenghast.
