Book Description

Excerpt from The Life, Letters and Literary Remains of Edward Bulwer, Lord Lytton, Vol. 1 The unpublished manuscripts bequeathed me by my father (in addition to his private correspondence and note-books) cou sist of several dramas completely finished an entire volume of his History of Athens never published; a few sketches made for some other historical works; and an immense number of unfinished novels, plays, poems, and essays. Some of these compositions are the produce of the earliest, others of the intermediate, and others again of the very latest, period of his literary life. For, although his life was passed in writing for the public, the fact is abundantly attested by his manuscripts and note-books, that at every period of it he read more than he wrote, and wrote more than he published.
