Biography of the creator of romances that titillated and scandalized the Victorian world. Ouida (real name Maria Louise Rame) was more fascinating than her characters. She lived from 1839 to 1908 and had friends like Wilkie Collins, Oscar Wilde, and Robert Browning. She wrote more than 40 novels, plus children's books, short stories, and essays. See less
