Literary Encyclopedia: Bulwer-Lytton, Edward In Edward Bulwer-Lytton: A Fiction of New Regions (1976), however, Allan Conrad Christensen argued convincingly that Bulwer was a pioneer rather than an imitator; his experiments with different novelistic genres, to Christensen, are the result of his desire to find the most appropriate form for his complex metaphysical philosophy. Bulwer was deeply concerned that art should appeal to all ages, and not just to his own; he was also probably the first theorist of the novel, committed as he was to establishing the novel as the high art genre. Bulwer’s writing has been seen as important in transmitting Scott’s myth of “the Norman yoke” (which influenced Hardy’s work, for example); it has also been significant in creating and perpetuating the myth that Australia is “the lost soul of England&; (a myth which plays its part, albeit a minor one, in the novels of Dickens). www.litencyc.com /php/speople.php?rec=true&UID=636   (1360 words)

The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest No less impressively, Lytton coined phrases that have become common parlance in our language: "the pen is mightier than the sword," "the great unwashed," and "the almighty dollar" (the latter from The Coming Race, now available from the Broadview Press). Most important, over 10,000 wretched writers had tried their hands at outdoing Bulwer's immortal opener, with the best entries soon appearing in the first of a series published by Penguin Books, It Was a Dark and Stormy Night (1984).

Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton Sir E. Bulwer Lytton is not only a novelist of the first rank; he has achieved remarkable success as a dramatist and as a politician. In 1845 Bulwer struck a new vein in the " Caxtons."

Edward Bulwer - T.H.S.Escott Edward Bulwer is a solid survey of Bulwer Lytton's life and career. Without access to all the material Leslie Mitchell was able to utilize in his Bulwer Lytton (2003), but written closer to the times, Escott's work is a useful complement to the newer biography. Escott doesn't detail Bulwer Lytton's personal and intimate life closely, but he does give a better impression of his role in public life -- though some of this includes tiresome details concerning long-forgotten people and events. www.complete-review.com /reviews/bulwer/bioescot.htm   (609 words)

Zanoni by Edward Bulwer Lytton : Arthur's Classic Novels Bulwer has himself justly characterised this work, in the Introduction, as a romance and not a romance, as a truth for those who can comprehend it, and an extravagance for those who cannot. One of the peculiarities of Bulwer was his passion for occult studies. The most careless or matter-of-fact reader must see that the work, like the enigmatical "Faust," deals in types and symbols; that the writer intends to suggest to the mind something more subtle and impalpable than that which is embodied to the senses. arthursclassicnovels.com /arthurs/gothic/zanoni10.html   (18019 words)
