Enter, if you will, the solemn and enchanted chambers of The Edward Bulwer-Lytton Library, where romance and ruin, mystery and magnificence, move once more in living procession before the mind. Here are revived, in their full original form, the celebrated works of that master who united the splendour of history with the shadowy pomp of the supernatural, and gave alike to passion, ambition, and destiny their most stately utterance. Within this library, the listener may wander among fallen empires, secret hearts, and visionary worlds, and hear again those accents of an age at once grand, melancholy, and sublime.Public domain Daily
