A propos de cet article

**MY NOVEL; OR, VARIETIES IN ENGLISH LIFE – VOLUME I ONLY** **Author:** Edward Bulwer-Lytton (writing as Pisistratus Caxton) **Publisher:** G. Routledge & Co. **Place:** London, Farringdon Street; New York, 18 Beekman Street **Date:** 1855 **Edition:** Early Routledge edition; not the first edition of the work **Language:** English **Binding:** Nineteenth-century leather binding **Condition:** Good antique condition, with external wear An attractive mid-nineteenth-century edition of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's celebrated Victorian novel, *My Novel; or, Varieties in English Life*, published in 1855 by G. Routledge & Co. This is Volume I of the publisher's two-volume edition, retaining its original nineteenth-century character and decorative appeal. Written under the literary persona **Pisistratus Caxton**, the novel offers a panoramic exploration of English society, contrasting provincial life, family relationships, social ambition and political affairs. Bulwer-Lytton was among the most prominent and widely read Victorian novelists, also known for *The Last Days of Pompeii*, *Rienzi* and *The Caxtons*. **Bibliographical Features** The original title page reads: *My Novel, by Pisistratus Caxton; or, Varieties in English Life. In Two Volumes. Vol. I. London: G. Routledge & Co., Farringdon Street; New York: 18, Beekman Street. 1855.* Includes the printed dedication to the author's brother, the Right Honourable Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer, G.C.B., together with the introductory narrative and numbered books of the novel. The 1855 imprint is clearly established by the surviving title page. This is an early Victorian edition, not a first edition. **Binding and Condition** Bound in nineteenth-century leather with gilt spine lettering and period decorative appeal. - General rubbing, scuffing and wear to leather boards and spine. - Corners and extremities show age-related wear. - Interior generally clean and readable, with expected paper toning and occasional marks. - Pencil annotations to a rear blank. - Bookplate present. - Binding appears structurally sound from the photographs supplied. Overall: **Good**, allowing for the external wear typical of a book of this age. **Collector Interest** A pleasing example of Victorian popular fiction in a contemporary-style binding, suitable for collectors of Edward Bulwer-Lytton, nineteenth-century literature, Victorian publishing history and decorative antiquarian books. **Important:** Volume I only; Volume II is not included. This is not a complete copy of the two-volume edition. From a private collection assembled over approximately thirty years. Carefully packed and dispatched from Spain. International tracked shipping available; combined postage offered where practical.…
