Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton,1st Baron Lytton,PC was an English writer and politician. He served as a Whig member of Parliament from 1831 to 1841 and a Conservative from 1851 to 1866. He was Secretary of State for the Colonies from June 1858 to June 1859,choosing Richard Clement Moody as founder of British Columbia. He declined the Crown of Greece in 1862 after King Otto abdicated. He was created Baron Lytton of Knebworth in 1866. His detention of writer Rosina Bulwer Lytton,whom he had married,in an insane asylum provoked a public outcry. Bulwer-Lytton's works sold and paid him well. He coined famous phrases like "the great unwashed","pursuit of the almighty dollar","the pen is mightier than the sword","dweller on the threshold",and the opening phrase "It was a dark and stormy night." The sardonic Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest,held annually since 1982,claims to seek the "opening sentence of the worst of all possible novels".
