Summary:

After a prolific life as an author with a European reputation, outselling Dickens, Edward Bulwer Lytton was ennobled and, on his death, buried in Westminster Abbey. Since World War I, however, his literary reputation has sunk and he is now little read. "Bulwer Lytton" is the first modern biography of an extraordinary man whose literary output was prodigious. Leslie Mitchell's biography, written to mark the two hundredth anniversary of Bulwer Lytton's birth, is an account of a singular and very remarkable Victorian.
