by Marie Corelli (Author)

Critics called her a mystic and an anti-intellectual. They accused her of male-bashing and discounted her work as trite. The critics couldn't, however, explain her popularity. Corelli's novels were continually among the top best selling books at the turn of the twentieth century, making her one of the most recognizable authors of the time. Her portrayals of social gender roles provides an important insight into Victorian Feminism.
