QR code
"Marie Corelli: The Writer and the Woman" by Thomas F. G. Coates and R. S. Warren Bell is a biography published in 1903. Written during Corelli's lifetime, this authorized work offers effusive praise for the controversial British novelist. The book focuses primarily on analyzing Corelli's novels while revealing little about her personal life. Critics dismissed it as hopelessly biased, noting its eulogistic tone and breathless declarations of Corelli's genius. The work includes
a telling photograph: Corelli's terrier chewing up press cuttings from her detractors. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
