One of the bestselling late Victorian authors, the English novelist Ouida, pseudonym of Maria Louise Ramé, is known for her extravagant melodramatic romances of fashionable life. Her novels were considered controversial, offering a marked contrast to the moralising prose of early Victorian literature.
