The Works of Edward Bulwer-Lytton: A Linked Index to the Project Gutenberg Editions

A sweeping anthology brings together the full range of a prolific Victorian voice, offering everything from sweeping historical sagas to darkly comic social sketches. The collection is organized by volume and chapter, letting listeners jump straight to a favorite story or wander through the author’s evolving themes of ambition, love, and destiny.

Among the highlights are the richly drawn family portrait in “The Caxtons,” the vivid recreation of ancient tragedy in “The Last Days of Pompeii,” and the forward‑looking imagination of “The Coming Race.” Each work showcases a different facet of nineteenth‑century life, whether it’s the intrigue of court politics, the tension of gothic mystery, or the bold speculation of early science‑fiction.

Thoughtful indexing and clear headings make navigation a breeze, so you can easily select a single novella or explore the entire catalogue at your own pace. It’s an ideal companion for anyone curious about the breadth of Victorian storytelling.
