| Summary | "Devereux — Complete" by Edward Bulwer Lytton is a semi-autobiographical novel written in the early 19th century. The narrative follows the life of Morton Devereux, who reflects upon his upbringing, family dynamics, and the formation of his character amidst the societal expectations of a bygone era. The book delves into deep philosophical themes, particularly concerning the tensions between human emotions and their external expressions, framed within a historical context. The opening portion reveals the backstory of Morton Devereux, introducing his family lineage, particularly the contrasting lives of his uncle Sir William and his father. The narrative begins with Morton's childhood, highlighting the complexities of sibling relationships and the unique bond he shares with his uncle, who nurtures his wit and talent. Key figures, including the reverent yet enigmatic Abbe Montreuil, set the stage for the protagonist's intellectual and moral development. Throughout this introduction, we see Morton's struggles with identity, familial expectations, and the quest for personal meaning, laying a foundation for the conflicts that will shape his adventures and self-discovery throughout the tale.
