The Right Honourable Lord Edward Bulwer-Lytton was a prolific novelist, and very popular in his day. He coined many phrases now commonplace, such as, \\u201cthe pen is mightier than the sword\\u201d, \\u201cThe pursuit of the almighty dollar\\u201d, and \\u201cIt was a dark and stormy night\\u201d. He represented the Whigs in Parliament, and was the Secretary of State for the Colonies from June 1858 to June 1859.\\xa0

He married Rosina Doyle Wheeler, also a writer, and they had two children. He wasn\\u2019t a faithful husband, and they parted acrimoniously in 1833. When he was standing as a parliamentary candidate in June 1858, Rosina continued to publicly denounce him, in print and in person, and his responses escalated until he eventually had her committed to a mental asylum. She was shortly released after a public outcry.\\xa0

He suffered with gradual hearing loss from the time he was a young man. As it worsened during the course of his life, he pulled out of the public eye. An unsuccessful ear operation eventually killed him, and he died in 1873.\\xa0

And now, The Haunters and the Haunted, by Edward Bulwer Litton.
