Autorenporträt
Margaret Oliphant Wilson Oliphant, known professionally as Mrs. Oliphant, was a prolific Scottish novelist and historical writer, who typically wrote as Mrs. Oliphant. Her career, extending from 1849 to 1897, was marked by a deep engagement with Victorian moral and domestic issues. Born on April 4, 1828, in Wallyford, Scotland, she matured into a literary workhorse, publishing over 120 works, including novels, travelogues, histories, and biographies. Notably, among her historical works is 'Jeanne D'Arc: Her Life and Death' (1896), wherein she chronicled the saga of the French national heroine and saint with a blend of historical insight and compassionate narrative. Oliphant had a knack for blending a keen observation of character and social dynamics, which is evident in her treatment of Joan of Arc as not only a historical figure but as a young woman caught in the tumult of her times. Her narrative style in biographical sketches was characterized by meticulous research paired with engaging storytelling, aimed to make history accessible and compelling to her readers. Oliphant's contributions to literature extend beyond her writings; her role as a critic, often for the prestigious Blackwood's Magazine, was significant in shaping Victorian literary tastes. She passed away on June 25, 1897, leaving behind a vast and diverse body of work that continues to be studied for its insight into 19th century life and culture.
