The Modern Marriage Market is a novel by the renowned British author, Marie Corelli. The book explores the societal pressures and expectations surrounding marriage during the late 19th century. The story follows the lives of several characters, including the wealthy and powerful Lord Evelyn, the beautiful and charming Lady Dolly, and the ambitious and determined Miss Adela. Each character is caught up in the marriage market, either seeking a suitable partner or trying to maintain their status and reputation in high society.The novel delves into themes of love, class, and gender roles, as well as the consequences of societal expectations and the pressures of conforming to them. Corelli's writing is known for its vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling, and The Modern Marriage Market is no exception. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Victorian upper class and the struggles they faced in finding love and maintaining their social status.Overall, The Modern Marriage Market is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of historical fiction, romance, and classic literature.It is impossible, in the complex life of our time, that there should not be a large and powerful element in society whose influence is not altogether for good. The great wealth and luxury of to-day must produce effects which are demoralising and weakening to the characters of those who live under their influence; but every age has had the same evil, though perhaps to a less intensified degree. Where there is great wealth there must be great extravagance and display; but if only controlled and properly directed, its effect may benefit the community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
