A new scholarly edition of a major late-Victorian scientific romance novel
Marie Corelli’s A Romance of Two Worlds is regarded as one of the most culturally important Victorian bestsellers. This critical edition offers instructive access to this multifaceted but still largely underappreciated novel that is a key text for scholars and students of late-Victorian women’s writing. It also raises urgent questions about a wide array of textual and cultural concerns, especially the form and function of the Victorian ‘bestseller’.
