Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Caxtons: A Family Picture — Volume 02" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a Victorian novel first published in 1849. The story follows the Caxton family through the eyes of young Pisistratus, who navigates love, ambition, and financial troubles while serving as secretary to a parliamentary leader. His hopeless affection for his employer's daughter and his family's scholarly, gentle ways contrast with the political world around him. This domestic tale marked a departure from Bulwer-Lytton's earlier melodramatic works with its light humor and tender family portrait.
