| Summary | "My Novel" by Edward Bulwer-Lytton is a novel likely written during the early to mid-19th century. The story opens with a discourse among characters in Uncle Roland's tower, where the protagonist, Pisistratus, is urged to write a novel amidst discussions of history, population pressures, and social commentary on English rural life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a vivid scene set in the tower where various characters, including Mr. Caxton and his family, engage in a lively dialogue about history and literature, hinting at Pisistratus's impending role as a writer. The conversation weaves between personal grievances, such as financial woes and the antiquated notion of the Corn Laws, and broader reflections on society. Through witty banter and musings on literary inspiration, the groundwork is laid for Pisistratus to embark on his journey as a novelist, fueled by familial encouragement and the chaotic yet endearing dynamics of life around him. As the opening unfolds, it establishes a setting rich with character-driven humor and philosophical inquiries that promise a blend of satire and social critique in the story to come.
