About this book

Thelma is an 1887 romance by Marie Corelli (1855-1924), the best-selling British novelist of her era, whose sales outran Wells, Kipling, and Conan Doyle combined while critics sneered. The novel sweeps a pure Norwegian heroine from her fjord home into corrupt London society, in the lush moralising style that captivated Queen Victoria among millions of readers. Corelli's vast popularity makes her a key witness to late-Victorian popular taste. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
