Description
About this book
"A blighted life : A true story" by Baroness Rosina Bulwer Lytton Lytton is an autobiographical memoir written in the late 19th century. It presents the author’s searing account of long-term marital persecution by the celebrated novelist-statesman Edward Bulwer-Lytton and her battle against wrongful incarceration under England’s lunacy laws. Fiercely polemical, it combines personal testimony with a broader indictment of legal, political, and literary elites she believes enabled the abuse. The opening of this memoir sets the stage with an editor’s preface that hails the narrative as a true record of persecution, denounces the lunacy laws, and frames the story against a backdrop of public outrage and establishment complicity, while noting included portraits of the key figures.
