/ The Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest is \
| held ever year at San Jose State Univ. |
| by Professor Scott Rice. It is held in |
| memory of Edward George Earle |
| Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873), a rather |
| prolific and popular (in his time) |
| novelist. He is best known today for |
| having written "The Last Days of |
| Pompeii." |
| |
| Whenever Snoopy starts typing his novel |
| from the top of his doghouse, beginning |
| "It was a dark and stormy night..." he |
| is borrowing from Lord Bulwer-Lytton. |
| This was the line that opened his |
| novel, "Paul Clifford," written in |
| 1830. The full line reveals why it is |
| so bad: |
| |
| It was a dark and stormy night; the |
| rain fell in torrents -- except |
| |
| at occasional intervals, when it was |
| checked by a violent gust of |
| |
| wind which swept up the streets (for it |
| is in London that our scene |
| |
| lies), rattling along the housetops, |
| and fiercely agitating the scanty |
| |
| flame of the lamps that struggled |
\ against the darkness. /
