Summary | "Free Opinions, Freely Expressed on Certain Phases of Modern Social Life" by Marie Corelli is a collection of essays penned in the early 20th century. The work delves into various societal issues, with a particular focus on education, morality, and the responsibilities of faith in modern life. Corelli expresses her views candidly, taking a critical stance on contemporary clergy and society's moral decay. The opening of this work introduces the author's premise that the majority of "educated" individuals in society are woefully uninformed about significant current events, despite their supposed literacy. Corelli discusses the deficiencies in education, emphasizing that many people do not truly know how to read and reflect on what they consume. She critiques not only the upper classes but also the overall societal trend of skimming through superficial content without meaningful engagement, setting the stage for her broader exploration of moral and spiritual shortcomings in modern society.
