She sprung into the literary limelight with her first novel, ‘The Way of an Eagle’ (1912), which established her fame. Her ability to enthrall readers with tales of love and daring in exotic locales quickly became her hallmark. Following her initial success, Dell continued her literary journey, writing over thirty novels, among them ‘The Bars of Iron’ (1916), which further exemplified her literary style marked by emotional intensity, dramatic encounters, and the classic theme of love conquering all obstacles. Although her works were sometimes dismissed by critics for their melodramatic elements and implausible plots, they remained incredibly popular among readers. Her novels are characterized by strong, brooding heroes and plucky heroines. Dell’s works catered to the tastes of early twentieth-century readers who sought escapism during the turmoil of the pre- and post-World War I era. In her day, Dell was one of the best-selling authors in the UK and the USA, and her books were often best-sellers. Despite critical snubbing, Dell’s impact on the genre of romantic fiction is undeniable, earning her a steady readership that persists amongst enthusiasts of classic romance narratives.
