With its crackling prose, satirical wit, and profound, if subterranean, reflections on the lives of women, Miss Marjoribanks easily holds its own alongside "greater" Victorian novels. It's Emma meets Middlemarch meets Doctor Thorne meets Queen Lucia. (Selene)

Autorenporträt
Margaret Oliphant (1828-97) was a prolific Scots writer, author of over 100 books and innumerable articles. Early widowed, she was compelled to write for a living. She is best remembered for her 'Chronicles of Carlingford' series, which is set in a quiet country town near London. Religious themes predominate but the books are sharp and humorous. Elisabeth Jay has written a critical 'Biography of Margaret Oliphant' and edited Gaskell's 'Life of Charlotte Bronte' for Penguin Classics.
