“Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword” a commonly known quote by Edward George Bulwer Lytton. Edward speaks on behalf that of the masses and not on any person.

The Two Endings of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations No novel is complete without a good ending. Although the introductory and middle portions are important as well, the conclusion is what the reader tends to remember most.

Edward George Bulwer Lytton, an English novelist, once said, “The pen is mightier than the sword,” which means words are more powerful and effective than weapons in achieving one’s purpose.

Historical fiction can be a fantastic, and amusing, way to learn about a historical period.
