One of the most popular writers of his age, outsold only by
Dickens, Edward George Bulwer Lytton (1803-73), first Baron Lytton,
is notable for coining the phrases 'the great unwashed' and 'the
pen is mightier than the sword', although his work is largely
forgotten today. G. K. Chesterton's appraisal was that 'you could
not have the Victorian Age without him'. Lytton requested that his
son Edward Robert (1831-91), first Earl of Lytton, complete his
autobiography. Complemented by letters and previously unpublished
material - the better to flesh out the story of a prolific literary
life - it appeared in two volumes in 1883. In his preface, Edward
Robert writes that his main purpose is 'to illustrate my father's
works by his life, and his life by his works'. Volume 1 contains
the original autobiography, along with letters and selected
writings that provide insights into Lytton's first twenty-two
years.
