Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton (1803–1873), was an English writer and politician, often referred to as Edward Bulwer-Lytton. He played a significant role in the literary and political world of the 19th century, diversifying his portfolio as a novelist, poet, playwright, and politician. Impressing the Victorian audience with his engaging writing style, Bulwer-Lytton authored prolific works that bridged Romanticism and the dawning era of realism. Known for his exceptional storytelling, expansive historical narratives, and a remarkable ability to depict human character under psychological strain, Bulwer-Lytton penned notable works like ‘Pelham’, ‘The Last Days of Pompeii’, ‘Eugene Aram’, ‘The Haunted and the Haunters’, and ‘The Coming Race’, among others. His oeuvre, ‘The Complete Works of Edward Bulwer-Lytton’, is a testament to his versatility, encompassing a spectrum from science fiction to supernatural, and reflective social commentaries. As a literary craftsman, he is perhaps ironically best remembered for the opening line ‘It was a dark and stormy night’, frequently parodied for its perceived melodrama. Nonetheless, his influence was far-reaching, affecting both literature and popular culture of his time. Aside from his literary achievements, Bulwer-Lytton served as a Member of Parliament and was Secretary of State for the Colonies in Lord Derby’s government, thus marrying his artistic vision with concrete socio-political engagement.
