Description
In his cultural study England and the English (1833), Edward Bulwer argues for the political significance of a literary genre little known today: the novel of fashionable life, also called the silver fork novel. (1) By describing and satirizing the follies and vices of high society, fashionable novelists like Robert Plumer Ward, Benjamin Disraeli, T. H. Lister, Catherine Gore, and of course Bulwer himself prepared the way for the reform movement of 1830, when the death of George IV in England and the July Revolution in France announced the dawn of a new era. Despite his notoriously pompous writing style, Bulwer was always insecure about his work, which may explain the conflicted nature of his assessment of the genre: We can assume that Bulwer's "three years' run" includes the publication of his own novel Pelham; or The Adventures of a Gentleman, which appeared in 1827; thus he establishes the fashionable novel as both a product of and a response to the reign of George IV, what is sometimes called the late or extended Regency.
