''' The Last Days of Pompeii ''' (1834) is a novel by [[Edward Bulwer Lytton]].
#REDIRECT [[File:1834 * Lytton (novel).jpg]]
 
==Editions and translations==
Published in Great Britain (1834).
 
==Abstract==
Hugely popular novel used its characters to contrast, not uncritically, the decadent culture of first-century Rome with both older cultures (Greece and Egypt) and coming trends (Christianity). The success of the Italian opera, ''L’ultimo giorno di Pompei'' (1825) by [[Giovanni Pacini]], which had made no reference to Christianity, suggested that the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE could also provide a climactic and providential setting to a “Christian” story.
