Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton attended Trinity College, followed by Trinity Hall, where he was recognized for his accomplishments in poetry. He began writing professionally after his allowance was cut off because of an undesired marriage - which he terminated not long after. During his political career, his ex-wife continued to write novels depicting him in a very unflattering light. He continued to write on his own in various fields such as science fiction, mystery, romance, and the occult. Most readers will know him, however, for the now infamous first line of his novel "Paul Clifford": "It was a dark and stormy night."
