Her first novel, Die zwolf Apostel, was published in the Gartenlaube in 1865 and this was followed in 1866 by Goldelse (23rd ed., 189o), with which she established her literary reputation. Among others of her novels may be mentioned Blaubart (1866) ; Das Geheimnis der alten Mamsell (1867; 13th ed., 1888); Reichsgrafin Gisela (1869; 9th ed., 19o0), Das Heideprinzesschen (1871; 8th ed., 1888) and Im Hause des Kommerzienrats (1877; 5th ed., 1891). All these works are directed against social prejudices, but, although attractively written, are deficient in higher literary qualities and appeal
E. Marlitt's Gesammelte Romane and Novellen were published in ro volumes (1888189o; 2nd ed., 18911894), to which is appended a biographical memoir. End of Article: MARLITT, E If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
