Edward Bulwer Lytton was born in London. He was an English novelist, poet, playwright, and politician. He earned a bachelor of arts degree in 1826 and a master of arts in 1835. His university awarded him an honorary doctor of laws in 1864. In 1831 he was elected member for St Ives in Cornwall, after which he was returned for Lincoln in 1832, and sat in Parliament for that city for nine years. Finding himself without an income, Bulwer turned to writing and within the year had published his first novel, Falkland. His first great success came with Pelham in 1828, a novel that many people read with the hope of identifying the originals of the characters whom Bulwer had drawn from the world of the fashionable in England. His play, Money, was first produced at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London, on 8 December 1840. He reached the height of his popularity with the publication of Godolphin.
