On the occasion of the bicentenary of Edward Bulwer Lytton's birth,
seventeen scholars from five countries have contributed essays
devoted to many aspects of his career. After the first essay that
analyzes the reasons for Bulwer's extraordinary reputation in his
own day, twelve of the essays focus primarily upon one or more of
the novels, from Falkland (1827) to Kenelm Chillingly (1873). Other
novels examined include Bulwer's The Last Days of Pompeii, The
Coming Race, The Parisians, and the Caxton trilogy, as well as his
Newgate novels. In the volume are also considerations of the
seminal treatise England and the English (1833), the incomplete
history of Athens (1837), and the achievement of Bulwer Lytton as
Colonial Secretary (1858-59). Two essays, one written by a
descendant of Bulwer, deal with the overshadowing disaster of his
life, the marriage to Rosina Wheeler, herself a novelist whose
novels sought to undermine his. Bulwer emerges from this collection
of essays as a challengingly complex but coherent figure that
merits the respect of contemporary students of the Victorian
phenomenon.
