Overview. . . having had occasion to read the original authorities from which modern historians have drawn their accounts of the life of Rienzi, I was led to believe that a very remarkable man had been superficially judged, and a very important period crudely examined. And this belief was sufficiently strong to induce me at first to meditate a more serious work upon the life and times of Rienzi. I have taken a view of his character different in some respects from that of Gibbon or Sismondi. But it is a view, in all its main features, which I believe (and think I could prove) myself to be warranted in taking, not less by the facts of History than the laws of Fiction. -- From Bulwer-Lytton's Preface Full Product DetailsAuthor: Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton, BarPublisher: Wildside Press Imprint: Wildside Press Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 3.20cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.894kg ISBN: 9781592247394ISBN 10: 1592247393 Pages: 508 Publication Date: 01 February 2003 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Unknown Availability: Out of stock  Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
