    About this ebook

    This early work by Elinor Glyn was originally published in 1906 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Beyond the Rocks' is an erotic romance novel that tells the story of a marriage of convenience and a forbidden romance. Elinor Glyn was born on 17th October 1864 in Saint Helier, Jersey. She was the youngest daughter of a civil engineer, Douglas Southerland, and his wife Elinor Saunders. Elinor Glyn began her writing career in 1900 and was a pioneer of the risqué and romantic fiction genre. She went on to write many popular books such as 'Beyond the Rocks' (1906), 'Love's Blindness' (1926), and 'It' (1927), in which she coined the term 'It', meaning the animal magnetism that some individuals possess.

    Elinor Glyn

    Elinor Glyn was a British writer best known for pioneering mass-market women’s erotic fiction and popularizing the concept of the “It Girl,” which had a profound influence on 20th century popular culture and the careers of Gloria Swanson and Clara Bow. In addition to her work as a scriptwriter for silent movies, Glyn was one of the earliest female directors. Elinor Glyn’s elder sister was fashion designer Lady Duff-Gordon, who survived the tragic sinking of the Titanic. Over the duration of her career Glyn penned more than 40 works including such titles as Three Weeks, Beyond the Rocks, and Love’s Blindness. Elinor Glyn died in 1943.
