The Introduction provides a general background of drama in the early nineteenth century and a brief estimate of Bulwer’s dramatic career. It also attempts to place Bulwer’s plays in the context of his time. Chapter one examines the nature of Bulwer’s first play, The Duchess de la Valliere. Chapter two evaluates the dramatic qualities of his second play, The Lady of Lyons; or, Love and pride. Chapter three assesses the merits of the third play, Richelieu; or. The Conspiracy, and provides a general discussion of Bulwer’s political ideas. It also establishes the connection between Bulwer’s first three plays depicting three periods in French history, and draws our attention to the author’s approach to history, Chapter four discusses the fourth play.

  • Nous Augoeides of the Neoplatonists
    Nous Augoeides of the Neoplatonists Nous Augoeides of the Neoplatonists v. 07.17, www.philaletheians.co.uk, 21 January 2018 Page 1 of 26 NOUS AUGOEIDES OF THE NEOPLATONISTS ABSTRACT AND TRAIN OF THOUGHTS Abstract and train of thoughts What is Augoeides? Augoeides is the Higher Self’s luminous radiation when freed from the flesh. Though during incarnation it is only a shadow, It alone can redeem the soul. 4 It is Divine Spirit, our seventh and highest principle. 4 It is the personal god of every man. 5 Augoeides is Atman, the Self, the mighty Lord and Protector, who shows Its full power to those who can hear the “still small voice.” 5 It is the Inner Man released from its gross counterpart, bathing in the Light of His Essence, and reflecting the Spirit of Truth. 6 It is our Luminous Self or Immortal Spirit. 6 It alone can defend, champion, and vindicate Truth. 6 And It will, if we follow Its behests, instead of demeaning It by our lower propensities. 7 Augoeides is the Soul of the Spiritual Man lit by its own Light Man has two Souls: Anima Divina and Anima Bruta. 9 The following passages from the Secret Doctrine may make this somewhat clearer. 10 The man who has conquered matter sufficiently to be illumined by his Augoeides, feels the Spirit of Truth intuitionally and cannot err in his judgment, for he is Illuminated. 10 Then the brilliant Augoeides, the Divine Self, will vibrate in conscious harmony with both poles of the human Entity — the man of matter purified, and the ever pure Spiritual Soul.

Despite the relative tranquillity of the years from 1832 to 1837, reform continued, but it was primarily economic and religious. The only major political reform of this period after the passage of the First Reform Bill was the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835, which established local government by paid professionals and city councils rather than by squires and magistrates. Economic reforms became increasingly important as the working class and its advocates realized that the First Reform Bill had done nothing to alleviate the misery of the terrible living and working conditions of the poor. Appealing to the humanitarian sentiment behind the abolition of slavery in British dominions (1833), philanthropists and Evangelicals stressed the need to free the urban poor from enslavement by factory owners. The landed interests in Parliament, whose power and wealth were being continually eroded by the industrialists, were only too happy to respond by passing regulatory factory legislation. The Factory Act of 1833 prohibited the employment of children under thirteen for more than eight hours a day in all textile mills and required that these children attend school two hours a day, a requirement to be enforced by travelling inspectors.

  • The Forces of Commerce and Capital in a Revival of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Money
    Spring 2001 115 "The Arithmetic and Logic of Life": The Forces of Commerce and Capital in a Revival of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Money James Fisher Though our brother is on the rack, as long as we ourselves are at our ease, our senses will never inform us of what he suffers... It is by imagination that we can form any conception of what are his sensations.1 —Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments The Vices and Virtues are written in a language the World cannot construe; it reads them in a vile translation, and the translators are FAILURE and SUCCESSl2 —Alfred Evelyn, Money, (V, III) Theatre students are frequently instructed that the vigorous and energetic theatrical world of the nineteenth century produced little drama of lasting significance prior to Henrik Ibsen's social problem plays. Most Victorian theatre was overly sentimental and melodramatic, as the cliche goes; quaint and colorful perhaps, but finally too simplistic and flatly-dimensioned for sophisticated audiences at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The era, it seems, applied its repressions too fiercely for dramatists to delve below the surface of human experience, hindering serious questioning of prevailing values. The naive moralizing and stereotypical characters of this period made for a barren dramatic age. The condescension directed at nineteenth century drama also results from another presumed hindrance. These supposedly unwatchable plays are often multi- scene works requiring large casts and are, as such, too daunting in scope for even the most adventurous of directors and producing organizations. Published scripts of many nineteenth century plays can be difficult (if not impossible) to locate; James Fisher, Professor of Theater at Wabash College, has authored five books, including The Theater of Tony Kushner: Living Past Hope (NY: Routledge, 2001), and has published articles and reviews in numerous periodicals.

Zanoni: A Rosicrucian Tale Edward Bulwer-Lytton Zanoni: A Rosicrucian Tale Edward Bulwer-Lytton Zanoni, first published in 1842, was inspired by a dream. Sir Edward, a Rosicrucian, wrote this engaging, well-researched, novel about the eternal conflict between head and heart, between wisdom and love, played out by the Rosicrucians before the dramatic background of the French Revolution. He described his book Zanoni as "a truth for those who can comprehend it, and an extravagance for those who cannot." Following his introduction, the novel is divided into seven parts, whose titles indicate the sevenfold path of spiritual development. The fourth section, "The Dweller of the Threshold," is the book's centerpiece, revealing significant esoteric facts and experiences. A novelist, a dramatist, a scholar, an editor, and an active member of Parliament, Sir Edward was an extremely successful author whose writings were widely read throughout England and Europe. He poured into this esoteric work all of the ancient esoteric wisdom that he felt he could reveal to the public during an age buried deeply in materialism. This work remains one of the great, pioneering landmarks of esoteric writing.

  • ASPECTS of LITERARY OCCULTISM the Colony of Queensland Was Founded
    NOEL MACAINSH QUEENSLAND, ROSICRUCIANS, AND A STRANGE STORY - ASPECTS OF LITERARY OCCULTISM The Colony of Queensland was founded by separation from New South Wales in the year 1859. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton (1803-1873), a Cambridge graduate, prominent novelist and Rosicrucian, was Secretary of State for the Colonies at the time, in Lord Derby's Ministry. He appointed Sir George Bowen to Governorship of the new Colony. As Jean Farnfield remarks in her Frontiersman, Sir George ". had obtained his gover- norship through the patronage of Edward Bulwer Lytton.. On the 29 April 1859, Lytton wrote to Sir George: I have the pleasure to inform you that the Queen approves of your appointment to Moreton Bay, which will henceforth bear the appellation Queensland. It is clearly the remainder of this same letter that brings Manning Clark to observe that "Bowen had received excellent advice from Bulwer Lytton, about fairness, impartiality, the utter absence of vindictiveness and spite, and that magnanimity 1,3 which is so opposed to the merely sharp and clever. Mrs Campbell Praed, the Queensland novelist, knew Sir George personally. She mentions his despatches to Bulwer Lytton and that Sir George "revels in classical allusions, quotes Horace, and compares the Darling Downs to Thessaly, the Main Range to Pindus and Olympus, and the river Condamine to Peneus. It will be seen that an occasion arose for old university graduates to rub up their Greek and Latin and that a fresh culture was imported among the stockmen and shearers, who read the reports of their new ruler's speeches." 4 She mentions that in Brisbane then there were "7000 souls possessing four- teen churches, thirteen public houses, and twelve police- men.
