| Summary |
"My Novel" — Volume 07 by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a serialized novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The book explores complex themes of courage and the human condition through a familial conversation about the nature of bravery, interspersed with the trials faced by the protagonist, Leonard Fairfield, as he navigates challenges in London society following personal and economic upheaval. The beginning of the volume introduces a household debate led by Mr. Caxton about the essence of courage, as he recounts an encounter with a bull. This dialogue reveals character dynamics and sets the philosophical tone for the narrative. Meanwhile, Leonard is grappling with feelings of humiliation and isolation in London, struggling to maintain a façade of confidence in a series of letters he writes to friends. This dual narrative arc serves to illustrate his internal battles against despair and societal expectations, laying the groundwork for further exploration of resilience and human connections as the story unfolds.
