"My 'Little Bit'" by Marie Corelli is a collection of essays and articles written in the early 20th century. The work reflects on the societal and political climates during the tumultuous times of World War I, emphasizing themes of patriotism, civilizational critique, and the role of women in wartime. Through her writings, Corelli expresses strong opinions against war and raises questions about national identity and moral responsibility. The beginning of the work introduces readers to Corelli's perspective on the state of England and the concept of "civilization." She critiques the notion that humanity has progressed beyond savagery, pointing out the contradictions in societal behaviors during wartime. The opening portion features passionate appeals for unity and patriotism as the author reflects on England's history, urging citizens to recognize the deeper implications of their actions in light of an impending crisis. Corelli's writings set the stage for a serious exploration of the moral consequences of war and the need for individuals to reflect on their roles within society.
