Autor

Margaret Oliphant Wilson Oliphant (1828-1897), who commonly wrote as Mrs. Oliphant, was a prolific Scottish novelist, biographer, and literary critic. Born in Wallyford, East Lothian, Oliphant's writing career spanned over fifty years during the Victorian era, producing over 120 works, including historical and domestic novels, ghost stories, biographies, and literary criticism. Despite her extensive bibliography, one of her most notable works is 'A Little Pilgrim in the Unseen,' which reveals her nuanced literary style and preoccupation with spiritual and metaphysical themes. This allegorical tale was published in 1882 and reflects Oliphant's interest in the afterlife, a recurring topic in her writing magnified by the personal losses she endured in her own life, including the deaths of her husband and children. Her narratives often explored the lives of women, the integrity of the domestic sphere, and the complexities of moral choices in society. Oliphant's mastery in blending realism with supernatural elements has rendered her a significant, though sometimes overlooked, figure in Victorian literature. Her substantial contribution to the literary world was also marked by her critical works, including the shaping of the 'Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine' and her role in creating a more inclusive literary canon by emphasizing the importance of women writers.
