Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by John Constable, William Beechey and Thomas Lawrence. The sequel to Ernest Maltravers: the daughter of the woman he abandoned grows up and the past presents its account. Bulwer-Lytton was the most successful novelist in England between Scott and Dickens, and gave the language both the great unwashed and the pursuit of the almighty dollar. This edition carries all eight books and a gallery of 58 plates after painters including Arthur Hughes, Myles Birket Foster and Thomas Lawrence.
