This novel blends spiritualism, romance, and fantasy to explore the connection between the physical and metaphysical worlds. The story follows a young woman who, after suffering from depression, embarks on a journey of spiritual enlightenment with the guidance of a mysterious mentor. Through vivid imagery and philosophical musings, Corelli delves into themes of faith, the power of the soul, and the mysteries of the universe, making this an early work of visionary fiction.

Fab to be able to teach with Andrew Radford's EUP edition of Marie Corelli's A Romance of Two Worlds - great for teasing out the complexities of the reception of the novel and how 'The Electric Creed of Christianity' intersects with myriad C19 concerns about faith and identity.
