Marcelle of the Quarter is a novel written by Clive Holland and published in 1900. The story is set in the Montmartre district of Paris and follows the life of a young girl named Marcelle. She is born into poverty and raised by her mother, who works as a washerwoman. Marcelle dreams of a better life and is determined to escape the poverty of her upbringing. Marcelle's beauty and charm catch the attention of a wealthy man named Count de Verneuil, who takes her under his wing and introduces her to the high society of Paris. Marcelle quickly becomes the darling of the Quarter, but she soon realizes that her new life comes with its own set of challenges and dangers. As Marcelle navigates the complexities of her new world, she must also confront the demons of her past and the choices that led her to where she is now. The novel explores themes of love, class, and the pursuit of happiness in a society that is often unforgiving to those who are born into poverty.

Holland's rare fascination with his Japanese wife is described beautifully in "My Japanese Wife: A Japanese Idyl" and nourishes the turn-of-the-century growing obsession with the exotic. "Mousmé is leaning over me as I write. Mousmé, a butterfly from a far Eastern land, her dress of apricot silk, with a magenta satin obi (sash), a blot of bright colour in the dulness of my English study. My Mousmé! with Dresden-china tinted cheeks, and tiny ways; playing at life, as it always seems to me, with the dainty grace of Japan, that idealised doll's-house land."

In the following pages, which in addition to being a record of travel in a delightful and too little known portion of the great Austro-Hungarian Empire, are also an attempt to present within a reasonable compass an account of the national history of a singularly interesting people, the author has sought to deal more fully than is usually the case in books of the kind, with the romance and legend which is closely interwoven with the past of "the land within the mountains," as Tyrol has not inaptly been described. It is truly a land of mountains, valleys, lakes, and rushing torrents that may well have bred the race of romance-loving, poetic, and hardy people who dwell in it. In the minds of those who know it there arises almost inevitably a comparison with the nowadays overcrowded and over-exploited Switzerland-and the comparison is, both as regards scenery and general interest, greatly in favour of Tyrol. The tourist and holiday-maker who frequent Pontresina or St. Moritz will find in this comparatively new "playground for Europe" beautiful counterparts of those places in Innsbruck, Meran, Botzen, Kitzbühel, and other delightful towns; whilst the more strenuously inclined who delight in mountain ascents will find the Dolomite region especially attractive, and in many other districts also interesting climbs. By the shores of the placid, translucent lakes, and in many a happy, secluded valley, those in search of rest and quietude will find their desire fully satisfied. And in such old-world towns as Innsbruck (of many historical memories), beautiful Salzburg, charming Bregenz, Botzen, and Meran the traveller with more artistic, literary, or antiquarian tastes will delight.
