Marie Corelli was one of Stratford-upon-Avon's most flamboyant & contentious personalities. She was the best-selling author of her day, eclipsing Charles Dickens, H.G. Wells & Wilkie Collins combined. Queen Victoria was a huge fan & insisted on being sent a copy of each new book.

@AuthorGFAllen In the Victorian era the most popular writer was not Dickens, Thackery or even Scott. It was Marie Corelli. She wrote spiritualist romances, kind of like the fantasy romances women read now but without the explicit sex.

"The object of a woman's existence is not to war with man, or to allow man to war with her, but simply to conquer him and hold him in subservience without so much as a threat or a blow" – Marie Corelli

334. The Sorrows of Satan - Marie Corelli (1895) Summary - 3.94 ⭐️: x.com/Celsius233Book…
Celsius 233@Celsius233Books

334: The Sorrows of Satan - Marie Corelli (1895) Summary (7 min) Rating: 3.94 ⭐️ Book at a glance: The Sorrows of Satan by Marie Corelli, first published in 1895, is a supernatural and moralistic novel often considered one of the first examples of popular horror fiction. Set in a decadent and materialistic Victorian society, it explores the consequences of unchecked wealth, ambition, and the temptation of evil. Corelli, a bestselling author of her time, enjoyed immense popularity, but her works were often criticized for their heavy-handed morality and melodrama. The Sorrows of Satan can be seen as a critique of the materialism and social corruption of the late 19th century, where the pursuit of wealth and status overshadows spiritual and moral values.

One classical writer I think everyone should read is Marie Corelli. There's a depth to her writing that portrays a deep understanding and appreciation of the soul of things.

“no fame is actually worth much now-a-days,—because it is not classic fame, strong in reposeful old-world dignity,—it is blatant noisy notoriety merely.” - Marie Corelli, The Sorrows of Satan (1895)

“Beauty combined with wantonness frequently ends in the drawn twitch, fixed eye and helpless limbs of life-in-death. It is Nature’s revenge on the outraged body,—and do you know, Eternity’s revenge on the impure Soul is extremely similar?” - Marie Corelli, The Sorrows of Satan (1895)
