In all, this is a very smart edition of this novel by Lord Lytton. Originally published in 1829, this novel was part of Lytton's four-part series, the 'Pelham Novels'. It is set in the late 17th Century and tells the story of a love affair between Devereux and the beautiful Lady Henrietta Temple. Lytton brings the tale to life beautifully with his vivid descriptions of both the characters and the period in which the novel was set.
