What is "nelida"

Nélida is a novel by Marie d'Agoult, a "thinly disguised fictional account" of her four-year affair with composer Franz Liszt, and a succès de scandale when first published in 1846. Marie later wrote several more novels as well as a distinguished history of the French Revolution of 1848.

The film Lisztomania was based in part on director Ken Russell's interpretation of the novel.
