LORD BULWER-LYTTON
LONDON, November 16.
The life of the late Lord BulwerLytton, the famous novelist and dramatist, which is being written by his grand son, Lord Lytton, demonstrates that he was famous as an orator, notable as a politician, and renowned as a writer, bur reveals the unhappiest domestic relations —owing to the opposing temperaments of himself and Lady Lytton. His wife was beautiful and clever, but ill-disciplined, wayward, and exacting. They lived at the rate of £3,000 a year when their income was only a few hundreds. Lord Bulwer-Lytton made up the balance with his pen and his astounding industry. He completed 10 novels, two long poems, a political pamphlet, a play, three volumes of history (“Athens, its Rise and Fall”), and other innumerable articles for the press, besides being a member of Parliament, in the decade 1827-37.
