Oliphant's writing is characterized by keen social observations and nuanced character development. She adeptly blended realism with supernatural elements, as exemplified in works like "Old Lady Mary," showcasing her versatility and depth as a writer. Beyond fiction, Mrs. Oliphant made substantial contributions to historical and biographical literature. Noteworthy works such as "The Makers of Florence" (1876) and "The Literary History of England" (1882) demonstrate her scholarly rigor and deep engagement with historical subjects.
