Description | The mention of the name Meredith invariably brings to mind the nineteenth. century novelist and poet, the author of 'The Egoist' and 'Modern Love'. But in late Victorian England, besides George Meredith, another Meredith held a place of honor in the realm of letters and was far more important a figure in public life. This writer, "Owen Meredith" as he chose to call himself, is an interesting figure, particularly for us in India; for, completely exploding the myth that makes poets unpractical and undependable, he, for the years between 1876 and 1880, governed India as its Viceroy. This poet-politician was Edward Robert Bulwer, first, Earl of Lytton. That this Viceroy who proclaimed Queen Victoria Empress of India, gagged the Indian press, and by his many acts of indiscretion, made himself extremely unpopular in England as well as in India. Robert Lytton was born on the 8th of November 1831. It was as a poet that Lytton wished to be remembered, not as a politician. As a poet, though he does not stand on the same level as Browning or Tennyson, he deserves greater attention than he gets to-day. his greatest fault, as a poet, was that he wrote too easily: he has grace and charm in plenty but lacks strength. in his prose, too, we have the same ease of manner, but their ease of expression is an unmixed blessing. On the 1st March 1876, Lord Lytton, accompanied by his wife, sailed for India as a new Viceroy of the country. |
