Lytton immerses readers in the vibrant landscapes of Spain and the emotional turmoil of his characters, reflecting upon themes of honor, passion, and the clash between differing ideologies, all within the context of romantic literature popular during the Victorian era. Bulwer Lytton, a prominent Victorian novelist and playwright, was known for his deep interest in history and theater, often drawing upon classical themes and historical events in his works. His upbringing in an intellectual environment nurtured his literary ambitions, while his political career provided him with insight into the complexities of human nature.
