Encyclopedic overview
Mary Mackay (1 May 1855 – 21 April 1924), also called Minnie Mackey and known by her pseudonym Marie Corelli (/kəˈrɛli/, also UK: /kɒˈ-/, US: /kɔːˈ-, koʊˈ-/), was an English novelist.
From the appearance of her first novel A Romance of Two Worlds in 1886, she became a bestselling fiction-writer; her works were largely concerned with Christianity, reincarnation, astral projection and mysticism. Despite her many distinguished patrons, she was often ridiculed by critics. Corelli lived her later years in Stratford-upon-Avon, whose historic buildings she fought hard to preserve.
