Edward era il figlio minore del generale William Earle Bulwer di Heydon Hall e Wood Dalling e di Elizabeth Barbara Lytton, figlia di Richard Warburton Lytton di Knebworth, nell'Hertfordshire; dei suoi due fratelli, William intraprese la carriera militare ed il maggiore Henry, futuro Lord Dalling, fu anch'egli politico, drammaturgo e romanziere.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Edward Bulwer-Lytton was a novelist, journalist, politician, playwright and poet who loomed large on the literary scene for several decades.
Bulwer’s father died in 1804, after one of the bad marriages which afflicted the family, leaving Bulwer to the care of his overly possessive mother.
Bulwer was also ridiculed for his dandyish demeanour, an image which was not helped by the prevailing tendency to confuse him with the eponymous hero of his best-seller, Pelham, and by Tennyson’s description of him as a lion in curl-papers.

Edward produced poetry from the age of seven and was considered a prodigy by his family.
Bulwer became estranged from his mother for a period: she stopped his allowance because of his marriage, and he had to descend to the drudgery of authorship and journalism to support himself and his wife in the style to which they had become accustomed, with a carriage, horses, entertaining friends and so on.
Bulwer was knighted in 1837, and on his mother’s death in 1843 he succeeded to Knebworth and took the name Bulwer-Lytton.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton's The Coming Race was one of the most remarkable and most influential books published in the 1870s.
Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, one of the great figures of late Victorian literature, may have been overvalued in his time -- but his extraordinarily engaging and readable work is certainly greatly undervalued today.
Lytton's narrative, published in the same year as The Descent of Man, is one of the first truly post-Darwinian novels.

Bulwer was "a writer of defective accomplishment." This judgement includes his many forays into the unnatural, the supernatural, and the Gothic.
Like Godwin, Bulwer manipulates the devices and atmosphere of the Gothic to intensify his political message.
Bulwer's narrative is a reworking of many of the motifs not only of his previous novels but also of the post-Jacobin reformism of William Godwin and others of the Shelley circle."

 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).
Conscripted numerous times to be a judge in writing contests that were, in effect, bad writing contests but with prolix, overlong, and generally lengthy submissions, he struck upon the idea of holding a competition that would be honest and -- best of all -- invite brief entries.
White water enthusiasts will also be gratified to know that "the rafting capital of British Columbia," located at the dramatic confluence of the Thompson and Fraser Rivers, takes its name from our hero, acknowledging his tenure as Interior Secretary, when he was responsible for building numerous roads in Australia and Western Canada.

Though bereft of elegant phraseology, good Edward did plod along in the ill fecundation of many an otiose tome with half-effaced characters, never encumbered by the pedestrian necessity of gainful employment, but supported in his wretched inutility by a modest allowance dutifully bestowed by his mother in supplement to his unenviable sales.

A man named Bulwer Lytton had written a book called The Coming Race in 1871 which describes a race of men psychically far in advance of our own said to live in caves in the center of the Earth, soon to emerge to reign over the rest of us.
The only problem with this book is that while Lytton goes through an enormity of steps to describe the culture and idiosyncrasies of the vril-ya the book at times reads more like notes of an anthropologist than a literary novel.
Lytton's dystopic narrative is influenced by the post-Darwinian fears of degeneration and devolution.

Bulwer Lytton was a celebrated writer of Victorian England yet today unlike Dickens (for example) he has faded to less prominance.

This useful resource features a biography, chronological timeline of events in the author's life, bibliography, contextual information about life in Victorian times, and selected essays, including an articled titled "Edward Bulwer and Charles Dickens" that explores the lifelong friendship between the two nineteenth century English novelists.
Although not so versatile as Bulwer, a Walter Scott reincarnated, Dickens, who once styled himself 'The Fielding of the 19th c.,' was able to reach through cheap serialisation of his novels a massive audience far beyond that which avidly read Bulwer's metaphysical thrillers.
