Description

Edward Bulwer-Lytton opens this vast novel inside Uncle Roland's tower hall. Mr. Caxton turns a great globe for his own recreation. Pisistratus, the young narrator, watches his family at night. His mother holds up a small frock she has trimmed.

Blanche leans on her mother but eyes Pisistratus instead. Uncle Roland is deep in some third volume of a novel. Mr. Squills studies the money market in the Times. The first chapter shows how the novel came to be written. From this warm family stage, Lytton unrolls a long tale of English life, love, and ambition across many books.
