English politician, poet, playwright, and prolific novelist. He was immensely popular with the reading public and wrote a stream of best-selling novels which earned him a considerable fortune. Among the phrases he coined: “the pen is mightier than the sword" and the famous opening line, "it was a dark and stormy night.” Two items: ALS, no date, on black-edge mourning stationery, signed “E. L. Bulwer,” written in his difficult to decipher hand regarding a coffin; and a partial ALS signed “E. Lytton Bulwer.” In very good condition, with partial separation along the hinge of the first letter, intersecting folds to the partial ALS, and scattered toning.
