Excerpt from Introductions to the Prose Romances, Plays and Comedies of Edward Bulwer Lord Lytton
To recall to the many who value Bulwer some of the exquisite and noble characters he created and a few of the truths he sought to enforce; to acquaint new readers with the purpose of the several works and facilitate the just appraisement of their merits; and to record one estimate of the productions of an author who, in accordance with precedent, must wait a couple of centuries, before his country produces a critic capable of comprehending his power, wisdom, and mastery of art, is the object of this attempt to explain and appreciate the achievements of a great writer in the realm of romance. Another volume will deal with his poems, essays, criticisms, and speeches, for the romances are but half of his works.
Because of the vague notions prevalent concerning literature, poetry, and romance, an essay treating of these precedes the articles on the romances and their author.
