My thoughts It's no surprise when you find out that Titus Groan and Gormenghast, the first two books in the trilogy, were written during and just after the Second World War. Review: Titus Alone by Mervyn Peake (Book 3, Gormeghast). It almost didn't feel like part of the trilogy at all. I made slow and steady progress through the first half of book 1 (Titus Groan). I've also finished the Gormenghast novels. Peake, the son of medical missionaries to China, wrote of the ancient, gargantuan Gormenghast Castle inhabited by the mad Groan family and the subsequent birth and adventures of its royal heir, Titus Groan Titus.

Last week, I finished reading the Gormenghast trilogy. A spectacular example of “the-one-that-got-away” is Mervyn Peake (1911-68), English poet, illustrator and deviser of the gothic Gormenghast Trilogy. So that means I'm writing it today instead. In many ways Titus Alone is for me the most interesting of the three books Mervyn Peake wrote concerning the young Lord of Gormenghast, even if it lacks the compelling plot of the first two. It didn't grab me, The first two books were written closely together, but Titus Alone was published nearly 10 years after Gormenghast. I've always found it more strange than readable, where the first two books were the reverse. This is an author who has seen the horrors of war and knows what it The third book, Titus Alone, was really confusing. Posted on May 25, 2013 by admin. I was ambivalent about Titus Groan, I quite liked Gormenghast, but Titus Alone lost all the goodwill the first two books earned.
