Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803–1873) was a prolific English writer, who earned a permanent niche in the literary world with his penchant for ornate prose and supernatural themes. His literary career spanned a variety of genres, encompassing poetry, plays, and novels that were immensely popular during the Victorian era. Educated at Cambridge University, Bulwer-Lytton displayed a precocious talent for writing, which later flourished into a successful professional pursuit. Notably, his historical work 'Athens - Its Rise and Fall' reflects his deep engagement with classical history and his narrative skill in elucidating the complex tapestry of political, cultural, and philosophical developments of ancient Greece. As an author, he was known for his ability to blend romantic idealism with a certain gothic sensibility, as seen in his acclaimed novels such as 'The Last Days of Pompeii' and 'The Coming Race'. His writing style, characterized by elaborate and sometimes florid language, has been both admired and parodied, particularly the famous opening line from his novel 'Paul Clifford', 'It was a dark and stormy night...'. Despite this, his influence on the literary and political world of his time was indisputable, and his works continue to be of academic interest for those studying the literature and culture of the 19th century.
