Summary "The Caxtons: A Family Picture — Volume 12" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a novel written during the Victorian era. This work presents a narrative that focuses on the life and dynamics of the Caxton family, exploring themes of familial relationships, aspirations, and the impact of changes on their lives. The book dives into the challenges and motivations of its characters, particularly the ambitions of the young Pisistratus Caxton, who seeks to redeem his family's fortunes amidst shifting societal values. The story unfolds through the thoughts and experiences of Pisistratus Caxton, who is caught between his scholarly upbringing and a yearning for a more actionable life. In the backdrop of their ancestral home, the Tower, the narrative reveals the complexities of family ties as they confront financial struggles and aspirations for future success. As Pisistratus grapples with his duty to his family and his desire for personal fulfillment, he explores opportunities beyond England, particularly contemplating emigration to Australia as a means to secure the family's legacy. Through poignant reflections and character interactions filled with warmth and philosophy, Bulwer Lytton Lytton illustrates the intricate balance of aspiration, love, and duty within the Caxton household.
