The Vulgarity Of Wealth

The Vulgarity of Wealth is a novel written by Marie Corelli, first published in 1894. The story revolves around the wealthy and powerful family of the Grandisons, who are known for their extravagant lifestyle and social status. The main character, Lady Ursula Grandison, is a young woman who is torn between her desire for a life of luxury and her conscience, which tells her that their wealth is built on the exploitation of others.As the story unfolds, Lady Ursula becomes increasingly disillusioned with her family's lifestyle and begins to question the morality of their actions. She meets a young man named Felix, who shares her views and together they embark on a journey to expose the corruption and greed of the wealthy elite.The novel is a scathing critique of the Victorian era's obsession with wealth and social status, and Corelli uses her characters to explore themes of morality, social responsibility, and the dangers of unchecked power. The book was controversial at the time of its publication, as it challenged the prevailing attitudes of the upper classes and called for greater social justice and equality.Overall, The Vulgarity of Wealth is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that remains relevant today, as it speaks to the ongoing struggle for a more just and equitable society.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Free Opinions Freely Expressed on Certain Phases of Modern Social Life and Conduct, by Marie Corelli.
