I love antique books. “The Sorrows of Satan” by Marie Corelli was one the world’s first bestsellers in 1895. Critics hated it but the public ate it up due to its prosaic style. In its day, the book even outsold Dickens and Conan-Doyle. I can’t help but think it’s widely unknown today because the author was a woman.
Fun fact: the name Mavis was invented for and popularised by this book. Many critics view the character Mavis Clare as a surrogate for the author, Marie Corelli.
