Cheveley: or, The Man of Honour
Book • 2013
Cheveley: or, The Man of Honour is a silver fork novel published in 1839, shortly after Rosina Bulwer Lytton's separation from her husband.
It thinly disguises Edward Bulwer-Lytton as Lord De Clifford, a man of false honour who seduces and abandons the innocent heroine.
The work critiques aristocratic hypocrisy and draws directly from the author's personal grievances, making it a bold act of literary revenge.
Issued in three volumes by Edward Bull in London, it saw multiple editions and translations.
