His favourite novelist you may say is Marie
Corelli (ca 1855/1924 -Victorian England). She was quite
popular at the time, but nowadays she is rarely mentioned. An exceptional
lady, she had quite strong principles. She had an interesting ability
to weave the spiritual in some of her stories and that in a very personal
way. Little known is that it is ónly thanks to her that the surrounding
buildings to Shakespeare's birthplace in Henley street in Stratford-upon-Avon still
exist today! Yes, these where on the list of demolition in the early
1900's. This guy's favourite novel is probably: 1895 ‘The Sorrows
of Satan’ (on the left you'll find a scanning from the frontcover
of the first London: Methuen edition). It is an intriguing and
very original approach towards the role of the devil. A good second
place takes: 1887 ‘Vendetta’, and yes they are both written by Corelli.
A list of her publications you'll find here
(also more pictures!) I will be at any time interested in interesting
items re or by Corelli, this really could be anything!
