"Pelham" is recognized for its portrayal of the manners, social conventions, and politics of the time, reflecting the society of early 19th-century England.Bulwer-Lytton's novel "Pelham" is considered one of the earliest examples of the English "silver-fork" school of novels, which focused on the manners and society of the upper classes. It remains a notable work in English literature for its depiction of social life and its portrayal of a young man's journey to maturity and self-discovery within the context of his society.
