A vivid invitation to the age when urban dream and moral doubt met on every London street. Ernest Maltravers (Volume I) opens a window into an English gothic fiction that still pulses with modern energy, where romance, intrigue and betrayal are woven through a web of ambition and conscience.

A vivid invitation to the age when urban dream and moral doubt met on every London street. Ernest Maltravers (Volume I) opens a window into an English gothic fiction that still pulses with modern energy, where romance, intrigue and betrayal are woven through a web of ambition and conscience. This volume offers a concise, engaging entry into a classic nineteenth century novel that blends social satire of manners with a sharp moral critique. Bulwer Lytton's early Victorian prose captures a London victorian urban backdrop as only a keen observer could, placing Maltravers beside peers from the Edgar Allan Poe era and around bulwer lytton contemporaries whose ideas competed with and shaped the era's literary compass. The narrative rewards attentive readers with complex character conflicts, structural ingenuity, and themes that linger in classrooms and reading rooms alike. It is both scholarship reading guide and classroom syllabus companion in spirit, inviting thoughtful discussion of culture, ambition, and responsibility. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, destined to delight casual readers and classic-literature collectors seeking the enduring art of early Victorian prose, set against the grand, turbulent streets of a city that still speaks to us.
