/ The Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest is held ever year at San Jose State
| Univ. by Professor Scott Rice. It is held in memory of Edward George
| Earle Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873), a rather prolific and popular (in his
| time) novelist. He is best known today for having written "The Last
| Days of Pompeii."
|
| Whenever Snoopy starts typing his novel from the top of his doghouse,
| beginning "It was a dark and stormy night..." he is borrowing from Lord
| Bulwer-Lytton. This was the line that opened his novel, "Paul Clifford,"
| written in 1830. The full line reveals why it is so bad:
|
| It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents -- except
| at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of
| wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene
| lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty
\ flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
