Marie Corelli [Mary Mackay] (1855-1924; ODNB), novelist. Her blending of Christian themes, mysticism and portraits of contemporary figures irritated many establishment figures and drew the ridicule of the literary elite, but the same notoriety ensured public popularity and high sales; she was supposed to have alluded to Henson in her novel God's good man (1904).
