The Disowned is a novel by the British writer Edward Bulwer-Lytton, originally published in three volumes.[1] It is part of the then-popular genre of silver fork novels, focusing on British high society of the late Regency era. Like many other silver fork novels it was published by Henry Colburn, with the first volume coming out in 1828 and the latter two in 1829.[2] It is set in the late eighteenth century but the political and social themes it refers to have more relevance to the contemporary 1820s.[3]
