Ernest Maltravers (Volume Iii)

By Edward Bulwer-Lytton

A sharp, shadowed portrait of ambition and longing, Ernest Maltravers (Volume III) returns to the shelves with a vitality that feels newly minted. This is Victorian sensation fiction reawakened for today's readers, where elite men and shadowy secrets collide with the tremors of social class and character. Bulwer Lytton's tale unfolds as a gothic moral drama and an early Victorian romance, offering a keen social class critique set against a London of fog, plebeian grit, and glittering salons. The book's tentative, fragile sense of identity and fate builds toward a dramatic secret past discovery that reshapes everyone it touches. For classic literature readers and scholars alike, the book functions as a window into Victorian England, a companion for those who cherish Wilkie Collins novels or Charles Dickens contemporaries, and a rich source for academic study. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations, preserving the texture of Bulwer Lytton's language while guiding contemporary readers through a precise, illuminating journey. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting casual readers and serious collectors to savour a truly classic work in a demanding, modern marketplace. A perfect bridge between historical context and timeless human drama, it speaks to the curious mind and the heart that loves literature in all its complexities.
