Sull'Autore
Marie Corelli (1 May 1855 -- 21 April 1924) was a British novelist. She enjoyed a period of great literary success from the publication of her first novel in 1886 until World War I. Corelli's novels sold more copies than the combined sales of popular contemporaries, including Arthur Conan Doyle, H. mostra altro G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling. Corelli was born in London. She wrote both fiction and nonfiction, short stories and dramatic plays. Some of her works were adapted to film and theatre productions. In her final years, Corelli lived on Stratford-Upon-Avon. She was considered to be eccentric and could be seen boating there in a gondola from Venice complete with a gondolier. Corelli died there in 1924 and is buried in the Evesham Road cemetery. Her house, Mason Croft, still stands on Church Street and is now the home of the Shakespeare Institute. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

- Mary Mackay was born in London, the daughter of a Scottish writer. She adopted the pseudonym Marie Corelli and became first a musician and then a bestselling author of more than 30 gothic, romance, mystical, and society novels. Her work was greatly admired by Queen Victoria and Prime Minister Gladstone, among many others. She also wrote short stories and poetry. She published her first book in 1886. Her first major success was Barabbas: A Dream of the World’s Tragedy (1893). The Sorrows of Satan (1895), also based on a religious theme, had even greater popular success. In 1901, she moved to Stratford-upon-Avon, where she lived for many years and was active in efforts to preserve historic buildings.
