"The Disowned — Volume 05" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The narrative revolves around themes of virtue, poverty, and moral conflict, particularly through the experiences of the main character, Glendower, who is grappling with destitution while maintaining his principles. His struggles and the moral dilemmas he faces reveal the broader social challenges and philosophical inquiries of the time. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Glendower, a proud and virtuous man, who is enduring extreme poverty. Despite his intellectual pursuits and noble aspirations, he finds himself unable to provide for his dying wife and hungry child. A desperate encounter in the city leads him to contemplate theft in order to secure their survival. Instead, he meets Crauford, who tempts him with a scheme that could lead to wealth but is steeped in betrayal and moral transgression. The interactions set the stage for Glendower's internal struggle between his ideals and the harsh realities of his circumstances, highlighting a deep exploration of human honor amidst adversity.
