7	Rienzi, the last of the Roman tribunes more books like this by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton The author has produced a serious work upon the life and times of Rienzi. "I have taken a view of his character different in some respects from that of Gibbon or Sismondi. But it is a view which I believe myself to be warranted in taking, not less by the facts of History than the laws of Fiction."--from Bulwer-Lytton's Preface. see all copies from $2.25! new only from $24.95! \| first editions \| SVS
8	Kenelm Chillingly more books like this by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton My Very Dear Father, -- Obedient to your desire, I depart in search of real life and real persons, or of the best imitations of them. Forgive me, I beseech you, if I commence that search in my own way. I have seen enough of ladies and gentlemen for the present: they must be all very much alike in every part of the world.

9	Ernest Maltravers by Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton, Baron I must own that I have but inadequately struggled against the great and obvious difficulty of representing an author living in our own times, with whose supposed works or alleged genius and those of anyone actually existing, the reader can establish no identification, and he is therefore either compelled constantly to humor the delusion by keeping ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $14.09! \| first editions \| SVS
10	Night and morning more books like this by Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton, Baron In this Novel of _Night and Morning_ I have had various ends in view -- subordinate, I grant, to the higher and more durable morality which belongs to the Ideal, and instructs us playfully while it interests, in the passions, and through the heart. First -- to deal fearlessly with that universal unsoundness in social justice which makes ... see all copies from $2.25! new only from $17.36! \| first editions \| SVS
11 view cover	Eugene Aram more books like this by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton A murder is committed in the quest of a noble ideal, and the novel raises questions about reform of the English penal code. A superficially realistic plot vies with an allegorical subplot in which the hero must construct for himself a new identity and travel to a "new Eden" in order to fulfill himself. see all copies from $2.10! new only from $16.80! \| SVS
12 view cover	The Parisians more books like this by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton It was a bright day in the early spring of 1869. All Paris seemed to have turned out to enjoy itself. The Tuileries, the Champs Elysees, the Bois de Boulogne, swarmed with idlers. A stranger might have wondered where Toil was at work, and in what nook Poverty lurked concealed. A millionaire from the London Exchange, as he looked round on the ... see all copies from $2.48! new only from $15.36! \| SVS
13 view cover	Harold more books like this by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton The love story of Harold and Edith is told differently from the well-known legend, which implies a less pure connection. But the whole legend respecting the Edeva faira (Edith the fair) whose name meets us in the "Domesday" roll, rests upon very slight authority considering its popular acceptance; and the reasons for my alterations will be ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $18.29! \| first editions \| SVS

15 view cover	Devereux more books like this by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton My grandfather, Sir Arthur Devereux had two children by wedlock, -- both sons; at his death, my father, the younger, bade adieu to the old hall and his only brother, prayed to the grim portraits of his ancestors to inspire him, and set out -- to join as a volunteer the armies of that Louis, afterwards surnamed _le grand._ In time I returned to my ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $19.03! \| SVS
16 view cover	A Strange Story more books like this by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton Of course, according to the most obvious principles of art, the narrator of a fiction must be as thoroughly in earnest as if he were the narrator of facts. One could not tell the most extravagant fairy-tale so as to rouse and sustain the attention of the most infantine listener, if the tale were told as if the taleteller did not believe in it.

17 view cover	Godolphin more books like this by Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton Lytton, 1st baron This novel was begun somewhere in the third year of my authorship, and completed in the fourth. It was, therefore, composed almost simultaneously with EUGENE ARAM, and afforded to me at least some relief from the gloom of that village tragedy. It is needless to observe how dissimilar in point of scene, character, and fable, the one is from the ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $16.83! \| first editions \| SVS
18 view cover	Paul Clifford more books like this by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton This novel so far differs from the other fictions by the same author that it seeks to draw its interest rather from practical than ideal sources. Out of some twelve Novels or Romances, embracing, however inadequately, a great variety of scene and character, -- from PELHAM to the PILGRIMS OF THE RHINE, from RIENZI to the LAST DAYS OF POMPEII, -- ... see all copies from $12.20! new only from $20.50! \| SVS

20 view cover	The Pilgrims of the Rhine more books like this by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton To Henry Lytton Bulwer: ALLOW me, my dear Brother, to dedicate this Work to you. The greater part of it (namely, the tales which vary and relieve the voyages of Gertrude and Trevylyan) was written in the pleasant excursion we made together some years ago. Among the associations -- some sad and some pleasing -- connected with the general design, ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $14.20! \| first editions \| SVS

22 view cover	The Caxtons, a family picture more books like this by Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton, Baron In this work, a greater part of the canvas has been devoted to the completion of a simple family picture. It has been my intention to imply the influences of home upon the conduct and career of youth. Whatever our wanderings, our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and amidst the objects more immediately within our reach. see all copies from $4.15! new only from $16.95! \| first editions \| SVS

24 view cover	Pelham or Adventures of a Gentleman more books like this by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton Pelham, conveys the newer, and I believe, sounder moral, of showing how a man of sense can subject the usages of the world to himself instead of being conquered by them, and gradually grow wise by the very foibles of his youth. see all copies from $5.00! new only from $20.50! \| SVS
25 view cover	The Caxtons more books like this by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton If it be the good fortune of this work to possess any interest for the Novel reader, that interest, perhaps, will be but little derived from the customary elements of fiction. The plot is extremely slight, the incidents are few, and with the exception of those which involve the fate of Vivian, such as may be found in the records of ordinary life. ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $25.19! \| SVS
