The English novelist and mystic Marie Corelli enjoyed an immensely successful career, her novels selling more copies than her popular contemporaries, Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells and Rudyard Kipling. Her sensation, romance and fantasy novels were eagerly devoured by millions across the world and her admirers ranged from Queen Victoria and Gladstone to the poorest citizens. Today her novels have been largely ignored by critics, though during the height of her success she was the best selling and most highly paid author in England.
