In 1827, lie had sufficiently recovered
from his premature love affair to
marry, against his mother's wishes, a
brilliant beauty of society. The match
was fore-doomed to be unhappy, for
both Blulwer and his wife were too
unrestrained to live together. They
quarreled, were legally separated and
continued to quarrel in print for years.
Bulwer was rapidly winning renown.
His first novels were successes' but it
was not until "The Last Days of Pom
peil" (1834) that his fame was assured.
Nine years later appeared "The Yast
of th.e Barons." which many good
judges have considered his best work.
He wroto numerous other stories.
novels of society, of crime, of mys
teries, of family life. He was the most
successful dramatist of his time. He
dabbled in journalism. For 10 years
he was a member of parliament, was
later secretary for the colonies, and in
1866 was raised to the peerage an
Baron Lytton. He died on January 18,
1878.

shining weapons raised oi high, in the
faint hope that one well-directed
thrust might penetrate through theeye
to the brain of his grim foe.
