This book is a survey and interpretation of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's relationship to German life and letters. It provides a detailed study of the influence that Goethe, Schiller, and German «Rosicrucianism» exerted upon his writings and artistic development. The impact that Bulwer-Lytton had on contemporary German literature and his critical reception in 19th-century Germany are also examined in depth.

A memoir focused on the author's experiences while traveling and conducting research in communist East Germany during the 1970s and 1980s. The memoir is based primarily on a large file that the East German secret police--the Stasi--compiled on him over a twelve-year period. Large sections of this top-secret file have been incorporated into this book, along with appropriate commentary.
