"My Novel" — Volume 01 by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel written during the early 19th century. The narrative introduces Mr. Caxton's family and friends as they engage in lively discussions about various topics, from geography and etymology to the evolving landscape of literature and society. The central figure, Pisistratus, is nudged to embark on the writing of a novel, sparking a narrative exploration of themes like identity and class. At the start of the book, we find ourselves in Uncle Roland's tower during a winter night, where Mr. Caxton converses with his family about historical and hypothetical connections between ancient cultures. Discussions are lively and varied, underscoring the characters' distinct personalities, especially Pisistratus, who expresses discontent over his family's challenges with their land. As Mr. Caxton encourages him to write a popular novel, he faces the daunting task of coming up with a unique plot amidst a saturated literary landscape. The opening portion sets the stage for the exploration of societal norms, familial ties, and the struggles of individuality and creativity in a changing world.
