Description
An account of the resource
Lillie Langtry, nicknamed "The Jersey Lily," was a British-American socialite, actress and producer. <br /><br />The author of this play, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, was a British politician and writer. He coined the phrases "the great unwashed," "pursuit of the almighty dollar," and "the pen is mightier than the sword." The opening line of his novel <em>Paul Clifford</em> (1830) is that now classic phrase, "It was a dark and stormy night".
