Night and Morning, Volume 5. Paul Clifford — Complete. Bulwer was at his most self-subverting in Rienzi , which, as Schor says, seems designed to be read as both for and against Italian nationalism.

Catherine Phillips compares the preoccupations and narrative methods of Rienzi to those of Bulwer's next published work, the two-volume history, Athens: Its Rise and Fall. The impressive bicentennial edition of this work by Oswyn Murray includes 63 pages of extracts transcribed from the manuscript of the unpublished third volume, and an editorial introduction placing Bulwer in the tradition of Greek historiography. Both Murray and Phillips argue for Bulwer's importance in anticipating Grote's claims for the significance of Athens as a democratic model; both speculate whether Bulwer abandoned the work before he reached the "Fall", and the difficult issues of decline, through fears of rivalry from the professional historians.

Perhaps such topics, promised in the third volume extracts, as "the struggle between property and numbers", and the "forced and exotic" democracies established in the Greek colonies, presented intractable problems of representation to this radical politician, landowner and future Secretary of State for the Colonies.

After the s, the interests of property tend to predominate in Bulwer's work. In a persuasive reading of the immensely popular s Caxtons trilogy of domestic fiction, Peter Sinnema argues that the central value is veneration for property, transmitted through a series of male mentor-apprentice relations. A collection of articles is probably the best approach to Bulwer.

His constant reinvention of himself, his compulsive search for new genres, his extensive revisions to later editions of his works, especially the provocative early works such as Pelham and Eugene Aram , make him difficult for one writer to represent.
