Summary

"Pelham — Complete" by Edward Bulwer Lytton is a story from long ago about a young man named Henry Pelham and his journey through the complicated world of upper-class British society. We learn about Pelham's life, starting with how he was raised and his family's struggles to keep up appearances, even when they didn't have much money. The book tells us about Pelham's funny and interesting thoughts on his family, his friendships, and his time at Eton, a famous school. The author uses humor and smart observations to show us what it was like to live in that time, making us think about the good and bad sides of society and how Pelham is trying to find his place in it all.
