Summary "My Novel" — Volume 03 by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The story follows the protagonist, Pisistratus Caxton, as he grapples with the challenges of authorship, seeking to find a fitting title for his work while navigating the dynamics of family and social expectations. The narrative delves into a sense of identity and societal roles, reflecting on themes of duty, ambition, and the interplay between personal and public perceptions. The opening of the novel begins with a conversation among Pisistratus, his father, and their family members about the author's nascent work, tentatively titled "My Novel." As the discussion unfolds, Pisistratus is pressured to settle on a title, invoking a humorous debate about the significance of naming a story. This sets the stage for Pisistratus's creative journey. The plot quickly shifts focus to an incident involving Leonard Fairfield, a character unjustly punished by being placed in stocks for defending the honor of the squire's estate after an altercation with young Randal Leslie, the squire's kinsman. Thus, the novel not only introduces the complexities of literary creation but also intertwines with themes of morality, reputation, and social injustice in a vibrant rural setting.
