CORELLI, Marie:

Novelist; of mingled Italian and Scotch (Highland) parentage and connections; adopted in infancy by Charles Mackay, the well-known song-writer and littéra- teur, and brought up during childhood in England. Afterwards sent to France and educated in a convent, where she recived, with other instruction, a first-class musi- cal training She commenced to write an elaborated opera entitled Ginevra Da Si- ena, when barely fourteen. She also wrote two songs, My Sweet Sweeting, and Ro- meo's Good Night. Her first attempts in literature were three sonnets on Shake- spearian themes, and were published by Clement Scott, then editor of The Thea- tre. They were entitled Romeo and Juliet, Rosalind, and Desdemona, and were writ- ten while still at work on her musical ed- ucation; her adopted father's intention being to fit her entirely for a musical ca- reer. A curious psychical experience occur- ring to herself personally, caused her to write her first book, A Romance of Two Worlds, published in 1886. It was an in- stant success, and from that time she has devoted herself entirely to literature. She has never, however, abandoned her love of music, and is a proficient on the piano and mandolin. She has no particu- lar hobbies, except a great love of flowers, and a taste for collecting rare old books, of which she has many unique specimens. Her favorite recreations are reading and music. She is unmarried. At the end of 1897 a dangerous illness, nearly ending in her death, interrupted her work, and while slowly recovering from this during the spring of 1890 George Erie Mackey, (second son of Charles Mackay), who had been nominated at his father's death as her legal guardian, being many years her senior, died suddenly of pneumonia, leav- ing her entirely alone in the world. The shock of this bereavement prostrated her again with serious illness, and it was not till the end of April 1899 that she recom- menced her literary labours, and in fif- teen months produced Boy, a sketch (a short story contracted for previously to her illness in 1897), and the Master Chris- tian, both published in the summer of 1900. Her health is now fully re-estab- lished. She has given up her house in
