An excerpt from a review by The Literary World, Volume 11,1880: ...Rosina, Lady Bulwer-Lytton, whose alleged and scandalous autobiography has just appeared in England, was a Wheeler, of Limerick, Ireland. Her marriage was unhappy, and she lived with her husband less than ten years. In 1858, more than twenty years after their separation, she followed his speech of thanks at a Hertford hustings, after an election, with a violent harangue against him, in consequence of which she was shut up for a time in a lunatic asylum. Her feelings toward her son, the present Lord Lytton, otherwise known as "Owen Meredith," are said to be quite as bitter. The volume now attributed to her, if authentic, will not be the first production of her pen denunciatory of her husband and her son. A Blighted Life is its title, and its language toward the living and the dead is described as shockingly gross and cruel.

"This book also looks at how authors have persistently used the bildungsroman to complicate and challenge the idealization of the family, exposing the divorce ban as symptomatic of an unrealistic notion of domestic inviolability. This study concludes with a discussion of the future of the bildungsroman in a country that has transcended many of its formative crises. This chapter considers Doyle's A Star Called Henry as a text that inaugurates a new phase in Irish coming-of-age narratives in which many of the problems of Irish life, formerly treated so earnestly and tragically, can be a source of play and humor." "By looking at a comprehensive range of novels by writers like Sean O'Faolain, Elizabeth Bowen, Edna O'Brien, and William Trevor, as well as lesser known figures like Eimar O'Duffy, Francis MacManus, and Mary Morrissy, Blighted Beginnings traces the evolving concerns of Irish writers as they pushed for a greater accommodation of individual freedoms and aspirations."--BOOK JACKET.
