Omschrijving

A hook line: An enduring Victorian tale reborn for today's readers and tomorrow's collectors. The Caxtons (Volume XII) revisits Edward Bulwer-Lytton's sweeping family saga with fresh clarity and archival care. This restored edition captures the moral energy and social texture of 1840s England-where family duty, honour, and the quiet tensions of class create a vivid Victorian britain setting. Bulwer-Lytton's genteel yet searching characters move through a story of sentiment and responsibility, inviting classic literature readers to ponder virtue, ambition, and the costs of aspiration within a changing society. The work stands as both a landmark sentimental fiction and a rich social panorama, offering accessible prose that rewards study and rereading. Alpha Editions is honoured to reintroduce this title out of print for decades, now presented as a complete collection entry that honours the author's intent while speaking to contemporary readers. This is more than a reprint-it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, thoughtfully restored for today's and future generations. Whether you come as a casual reader drawn by a timeless family saga or as a student seeking a trusted study edition, the book's enduring themes of moral improvement, social class tensions, and enduring family bonds resonate afresh. With illustrations and careful archival attention, The Caxtons offers a doorway into Victorian fiction that is both nostalgic and newly relevant-a nourishing experience for the mind and heart.
