In Marie Corelli 's The Murder of Delicia (1896 , Delicia is an authoress , popular during her time because of her brilliant works . The book tells about the story of Delicia 's life

Delicia Vaughan was envied by a lot of women because of her possessed beauty and intellect , and on the other hand wherever she goes there are so many men ready to worship her and
