Extractions: Corelli, Marie (1855-1924) The popular English novelist Marie Corelli is now known chiefly as a camp figure who inspired E. F. Benson's Lucia. Although she strove to conceal her origins through numerous fictions, Corelli was born Mary (or Minnie) Mackay in Perth, Scotland, in 1855, the natural daughter of Dr. Charles Mackay, a minor literary figure who married her mother, a servant, in 1864. Sponsor Message. While in her twenties, she pursued a brief career as a concert pianist and assumed the fantastic, self-created persona of Marie Corelli, "a true Italian" descended from the seventeenth-century Venetian composer Arcangelo Corelli. Subsequently, she turned to the more lucrative venture of writing fiction. Her first novel, A Romance of Two Worlds (1886), combines science fiction and occultism in examining such disparate notions as out-of-body time travel, moral didacticism, and "personal electricity." After the moderate success of this initial venture, she produced, among other works, the best sellers The Soul of Lilith Barabbas, a Dream of the World's Tragedy

MARIE CORELLI (1855-1924) Marie Corelli was the pseudonym of Mary Mackay, a novelist who was born in London on 1 May 1855 as the illegitimate child of Charles Mackay, who was a poet and journalist, and Mary Mills, a servant whom Mackay later married. Corelli began her career as a musician, but soon turned to writing instead and published her first novel, A Romance of Two Worlds , in 1886. Corelli became a best-selling author, and her later writings, such as Thelma: A Society Novel and Barabbas: A Dream of the World's Tragedy , established her as one of the most popular novelists in Britain, whose work often had themes relating to psychic experience and to religion. Corelli lived her adult life with Bertha Vyver. In 1901, Corelli purchased the house, Mason Croft, in Stratford-on-Avon, where they lived until Corelli's death on 21 April 1924.

Extractions: "A fairy stirring up the world with a wand dipped in ink." So wrote Robert Hitchens admiringly of Marie Corelli (1855-1924), who in her lifetime became Britain's top-selling novelist and a worldwide celebrity. Corelli and her work stirred up anything but lukewarm responses. Her novels (thirty-one in all) won adoring fans from all ranks of society; Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales, and William Gladstone were among her ardent admirers, as were working-class readers who named their baby daughters after Corelli heroines. Corelli's most popular novel, The Sorrows of Satan (1895) is considered the first modern bestseller; it sold more copies upon its initial publication than any previous English novel. By Corelli's death in 1924
