Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Caxtons: A Family Picture — Volume 05" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a Victorian novel first serialized in 1848-1849. The story follows the scholarly Caxton family through their quiet country life, disrupted when young Pisistratus becomes secretary to a Parliamentary leader. There he falls for Fannie, daughter of Lady Ellinor—a woman once courted by his father and uncle. Financial troubles and romantic disappointment reshape his path. Told with gentle humor and light satire, the novel marked a departure from Bulwer-Lytton's earlier melodramatic style.
