Athens, Its Rise and Fall; With Views of the Literature, Philosophy, and Social Life of the Athenian People. by Edward Lytton Bulwer. Vol. 2. Book

Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton was once Britain's most famous historical novelist, rivalling and outselling Dickens in his day. His best-known book was The Last Days of Pompeii; yet he was also responsible for a great work of history. Athens: Its Rise and Fall, originally published in 1837, is the most important and readable of the Victorian histories of ancient Greece. It stands alongside Macauley and Carlyle as a great historical work of British Romanticism, and anticipates the thinking of George Grote and John Stuart Mill on Greek history by over a decade.2003 is the bicentenary of Bulwer-Lytton's birth. To celebrate, Routledge is reissuing this influential work. This new edition will include the text of a never-before published "third volume", recently discovered by Oxford academic Oswyn Murray.Read More
