The Haunted And The Haunters - by Edward Bulwer Lytton | |
| |
The Haunted and the Haunters - paperback | £7.99
|
| |
| Edward Bulwer Lytton was Britain's most popular writer of the 1830s. He made a lifetime study of the occult and the inner workings of the mind. His ghost stories are some of the earliest and finest ever written. They stirred the imagination of Victorian readers and still send shivers down the spine.
This collection of his best short stories is published to coincide with BULWER LYTTON 2000 an international conference on the life and work of Edward Bulwer Lytton (1803-1873) organised by the Institute of English Studies at the University of London in July 2000.
'Think of a great moment in the evolution of Victorian fiction and Lytton was there. He can plausibly claim to be the father of the English detective novel, sceince fiction, the fantasy novel, the thriller and the domestic realistic novel.' John Sutherland, Lord Northcliffe Professor of Modern English Literature, University College, London.
