A riveting descent and ascent of a man caught between aspiration and conscience. Ernest Maltravers (Volume IX) unfolds in a world where manners, money, and morality collide with dramatic force. This edition presents a concise, compelling reading of Bulwer Lytton's Victorian gothic novel long admired by readers of sensation fiction and historical romance. Across its pages the story probes social mobility, ambition, and downfall with melodrama and moral weight, offering both page-turning suspense and a keen social critique. The book's atmospheric portrait of nineteenth century England-its salons, streets, and covert ambitions-speaks to classic literature readers and university study aids alike, inviting fresh attention from public domain readers and collectors. Ernest Maltravers stands as a landmark in Bulwer Lytton's prolific career, illustrating how personal choices reverberate through society. Its enduring significance lies in how it blends vivid character, social critique, and conceptual daring, making it a touchstone for discussions of class, gender, and identity in Victorian England. For new readers and seasoned collectors, this volume is more than a reprint-it is a restored cultural treasure, revived for today's audiences and for future generations. Out of print for decades, this Alpha Editions edition is restored with care, honouring the novel's heritage while presenting it as a living part of the canon. A true collector's item for lovers of classic literature.
