The Last of the Barons
by Edward Bulwer-Lytton
In The Last of the Barons, considered Bulwer-Lytton's best romantic novel, as in Harold's, the aim was to show the true history of that period and bring the general Story itself to a more complete reflection of the characters of the main figures of the time, possibly the motives in which they acted, the state of the parties, the state of the people, and the great social interests. Viewed imperfectly, rival groups have contentions.
