Falkland is an 1827 Gothic novella by the British writer Edward Bulwer-Lytton. [1] [2] It was his first published novel and took inspiration from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther. [3] The protagonist was likely partly based on Bulwer-Lytton himself. The novel enjoyed success in Germany, but was criticised in Britain as immoral. [4] It was followed by Pelham in 1828, in which he switched to the fashionable silver fork genre, which established him as leading writing in Britain and Europe.
Falkland, a young English gentleman, falls in love with Emily Mandeville, a married woman. To his horror he has a premonition of her death.
