- Bulwer-Lytton, Edward (George Earl)
-
later 1st Baron Lytton (of Knebworth)
died Jan. 18, 1873, Torquay, Devonshire
British politician, novelist, and poet.
His first novel,
Pelham, was published in 1828. He entered Parliament as a Liberal in 1831, retired in 1841, and returned in 1852 as a Tory. In the interim he wrote his long historical novels, including
The Last Days of Pompeii, 3 vol. (1834), and
Harold, the Last of the Saxon Kings (1848). He was created a peer in 1866. The opening to his 1830 novel
Paul Clifford ("It was a dark and stormy night...") led to an annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Prize, in which entrants vie to create the most overwritten first sentence to a hypothetical novel.
