Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton

Devereux the Last of the Barons Zanoni Pelham or Adventures of a Gentleman Godolphin the Pilgrims of the Rhine Paul Clifford Rienzi the Last of the Roman Tribunes Eugene Aram, a Tale the Disowned the Last Days of Pompeii Night and Morning Ernest Matravers or the Eleusinia Part the First Ernest Maltravers Part the Second

London, Chapman and Hall, 1848-1853. Leather. A fourteen volume uniformly bound set of the works of 'Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton', each with illustrated frontispieces. Fourteen volumes. Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton was an English novelist, playwright, and politician. One of the greatest novelists of his day, Bulwer-Lytton"s literary career began in 1820, with the publication of his first book of poems, and continued throughout the nineteenth century. He wrote in a variety of genres, including historical fiction, mystery, romance, the occult and science fiction, offering a fascinating insight into the Victorian era. In 1828 he attracted general attention with Pelham, an intimate study of the dandyism of the age that kept gossips busy in identifying the characters with the leading men of the time. By 1833, he had reached the height of his popularity with Godolphin, followed by The Pilgrims of the Rhine (1834), The Last Days of Pompeii (1834), Rienzi (1835), and Harold: Last of the Saxon Kings (1848). The Last Days of Pompeii was inspired by the painting on the same subject by Russian painting Karl Briullov (Carlo Brullo) which Bulwer-Lytton saw in Milan. Pelham had been partly inspired by Benjamin Disraeli"s first novel Vivian Grey. Bulwer-Lytton was an admirer of Benjamin"s father Isaac D"Israeli, himself a noted literary figure, and had corresponded with him. Bulwer-Lytton and Disraeli began corresponding themselves in the late 1820s, and met for the first time in March of 1830, when Disraeli dined at Bulwer-Lytton"s house. Also present that evening were Charles Pelham Villiers and Alexander Cockburn. Although young at the time, Villiers went on to an exceptionally long parliamentary career, while Cockburn became Lord Chief Justice of England in 1859. In half calf bindings with marbles boards. Externally sound. There is some wear to the extremities and the spine label on Zanoni is becoming loose. There is an ink signature on a front end paper in most of the volumes. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally clean and bright, with some slight spotting in places mainly to the first and last pages. Good . Ill.: Various. Good .
