Infos

In "Temporal Power: A Study in Supremacy," Marie Corelli delves into the intricacies of political and spiritual authority, blending a rich tapestry of fiction, philosophy, and social commentary. The narrative is woven with her characteristic lyrical prose, embodying the tension between earthly rulers and the divine right of influence. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a time marked by socio-political upheaval and a growing fascination with mysticism, Corelli contemplates the influence of unseen forces in the realm of power, challenging the reader's perceptions of sovereignty and morality. Corelli, often regarded as one of the bestselling authors of her time, was deeply influenced by the spiritual movements and the burgeoning interest in the occult that permeated Victorian society. Her experiences as a woman navigating a male-dominated literary landscape may have prompted her to address themes of dominance and spiritual awakening in this thought-provoking work. Corelli's profound insights and reflective narrative style showcase her desire to elevate the reader's consciousness concerning societal constructs. "Temporal Power" is a compelling read for those interested in the intersection of politics and metaphysics, as well as readers who appreciate rich, philosophical literature that critiques the status quo. Corelli's eloquent prose invites readers to reflect upon their own perceptions of power and the influence of the unseen, making this work a timeless exploration of human authority.

Autor

Marie Corelli, born Mary Mackay on May 1st, 1855, in London, was a prolific English novelist of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Corelli's works, blending aspects of gothic, fantasy, and romance, were starkly contrasted with the literary realism popular during her time. She gained massive popularity and, despite critical derision for her melodramatic style, maintained a significant readership that included figures such as Queen Victoria. Corelli's novel 'Temporal Power: A Study in Supremacy' is a pointed critique of materialism and the influence of the church and state over the spiritual and moral direction of society. This and many of her other works, such as 'The Sorrows of Satan' and 'A Romance of Two Worlds,' often carried underlying spiritual and moral messages, reflective of her advocacy for Christian and esoteric ideals. Corelli's literary style is marked by a grandiose and ornate language which has secured her legacy as a distinct, if divisive, voice in English literature. Despite her popularity during her lifetime, Corelli's reputation posthumously waned, but recent scholarship has been revisiting her texts, focusing on her contributions to speculative fiction and her influence on the women's movement.
