Thelma

A young woman of radiant purity, raised among the fjords and mountains of Norway, meets a worldly English gentleman—and their love must weather the storms of jealousy, ambition, and social hypocrisy. Marie Corelli’s Thelma is a sweeping romance of breathtaking landscapes and fierce moral conviction, written with the dramatic flair that made her one of the best-selling novelists of the Victorian era. This edition presents the complete, unabridged original text exactly as it first appeared, accompanied by a thoughtful new introduction and reader’s notes that place the novel in its historical and literary context. Whether you are discovering Corelli for the first time or returning to a beloved classic, this carefully prepared volume offers an immersive reading experience. Part of The Founding Texts Library.
