Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton was once Britain's most famous historical
novelist, rivalling and outselling Dickens in his day. His
best-known book was "The Last Days of Pompeii"; yet he was also
responsible for a great work of history. "Athens: Its Rise and
Fall", originally published in 1837, is one of the most important
and readable of the Victorian histories of ancient Greece. It
stands alongside Macauley and Carlyle as a great historical work of
British Romanticism, and anticipates the thinking of George Grote
and John Stuart Mill on Greek history by over a decade. Routledge
is reissuing this influential work, as 2003 is the bicentenary of
Bulwer-Lytton's birth. This new edition includes the text of a
never-before published "third volume", recently discovered by
Oxford academic, Oswyn Murray.
