Robert

Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton, GCB, GCSI,

GCIE,

PC (8 November 1831 – 24

November 1891) was an English statesman, Conservative politician, and poet (who

used the pseudonym Owen Meredith). He served as Viceroy of

India between 1876 and 1880 - during his tenure as which Queen

Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India - and as British

Ambassador to France from 1887 to 1891. His tenure as Viceroy was

extremely successful, but controversial for its ruthlessness in both domestic

and foreign affairs: especially for his response to the Great Famine of 1876–78, and the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Lytton's policies

were alleged to be informed by his Social

Darwinism. His son Victor Bulwer-Lytton, 2nd Earl of

Lytton, who was born in India, later served as Governor of Bengal and briefly as acting

Viceroy, and he was the father-in-law of the architect Sir Edwin

Lutyens, who designed New Delhi.

Lytton was a protégé of Benjamin

Disraeli in domestic affairs, and of Richard Lyons, 1st Viscount Lyons,

who was his predecessor as Ambassador to France, in foreign affairs. His tenure

as Ambassador to Paris was successful, and Lytton was afforded the rare tribute

– especially for an Englishman – of a French state funeral

in Paris.
