The story centers around the character Paul Clifford, a young man whose tumultuous life begins in the dark and stormy depths of London’s lower classes. The prefaces highlight Bulwer Lytton's intention to explore societal issues related to crime, punishment, and the impact of upbringing on moral development. The opening of "Paul Clifford" introduces readers to a grim scene dominated by a dying woman named Judith, who struggles with her past and her affection for her child, Paul. She ultimately entrusts her son to Mrs. Margery Lobkins, a publican, expressing her fears and regrets over raising him in such a toxic environment. Following this tragic introduction, Paul is depicted as a young boy growing under Mrs. Lobkins' care, where he navigates both the nurturing aspects of his unconventional family and the darker elements of street life. As he grows, he yearns for knowledge and social status but grapples with influences that threaten to lead him astray, setting the stage for his tumultuous journey ahead.
