Summary "My Novel" — Volume 02 by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a fictional narrative likely written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around characters such as Pisistratus, Mr. Caxton, and various members of the Leslie family as they engage in witty discussions about literature and societal issues, while also portraying the intricacies of relationships and social status. The narrative introduces themes of family dynamics, personal aspirations, and the influence of societal expectations. The opening of the novel serves as both an introduction and a preamble, where Mr. Caxton argues for the inclusion of Initial or Introductory Chapters as fundamental to a well-structured narrative. Pisistratus, representing a younger generation, questions this convention, leading to a lively dialogue about the merits of such literary devices. Following this discussion, we meet Frank Hazeldean, who embarks on a visit to Dr. Riccabocca's residence. Upon his arrival, he encounters the doctor—a peculiar yet gentlemanly figure—who welcomes him amidst reflections on life and the social milieu they both navigate. The narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of character interactions and the unfolding of the plot, inviting readers to delve into a world rich in humor, social commentary, and relatable human experiences.
