Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton, (1803-1873) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, and politician. He was immensely popular with the reading public and wrote a stream of bestselling novels which earned him a considerable fortune. He coined the phrases 'the great unwashed', 'pursuit of the almighty dollar', 'the pen is mightier than the sword', 'dweller on the threshold', and the well-known and much-parodied opening line 'It was a dark and stormy night'. After his death, Bulwer-Lytton suffered a tremendous decline in reputation and today is best known for the 'dark and stormy night' line and the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, to determine the opening sentence of the worst of all possible novels.**PRICE JUST REDUCED!

1977To the great unhappiness of a lovely young woman, Sarah, she is placed under the guardianship of Edward Channon when her father is murdered. Reserved and private, Edward's presence in the house of mourning makes her uneasy but is faintly enticing. She can enjoy the excitement of the coastal English village, even with the threat of Napoleon's invasion ever present. And she is still allowed to see Will Penfyn, the young man whom she's loved since childhood, with whom she secretly intends to elope. However, in the middle of the dangers rocking this turbulent era, Sarah's contentment suddenly comes to an end. Her planned elopement with Will is interrupted by the increasingly forceful Edward- now a most mystifying enigma to her. Book

18608vo., Second Edition, with an engraved frontispiece, illustrated title in red and black, 6 fine wood-engraved plates FINELY COLOURED BY HAND and 26 engraved illustrations in the text, wanting front free endpaper, frontispiece and title lightly spotted; original pictorial red coarse-grain cloth, upper board elaborately blocked with multiple frame border in gilt and blind enclosing jester and title all in gilt, gilt back, gilt edges, bevelled boards, yellow endpapers, covers moderately age-soiled, corners scuffed, joints somewhat rubbed with one short tear, gathering cracked at F6-7 (but binding wholly sound) else a firm, tight copy. With Westley's binder's ticket on rear paste-down. Mackenzie's version of the German mediaeval classic was first published in 1860 as a Christmas volume, but stocks were swiftly exhausted and a second edition prepared to meet continuing demand. Mackenzie produced a lengthy additional preface to this second edition, attributing the success of the venture partly to 'the generous and unanimous verdict of the press' but also, surely, to the wonderful illustrations by 'Alfred Crowquill' (A.H. Forrester). Many would-be Christmas readers must have been disappointed for Mazkenzie dates his preface Christmas Eve, but scholars of mediaeval romance and fantasy will find this a most useful edition replete with extensive historical preface and bibliographical and other scholarly appendices. The US edition (T&F of Boston) of the same year is the first American edition of the tale in English. Scarce.
