Autorenporträt
Margaret Oliphant Wilson Oliphant, professionally known as Mrs. Oliphant, was a prolific Scottish novelist and historical writer who made a significant literary mark in the 19th century. Born on April 4, 1828, in Wallyford, near Musselburgh, East Lothian, she published over 120 works, including novels, biographies, travel writing, and literary criticism. Oliphant's writing is characterized by its clear narrative style and keen observation of domestic life, often examining women's roles within society, a progressive theme for her time. Among her most notable works is 'The Doctor's Family,' a novel that was part of her Chronicles of Carlingford series and originally appeared as part of Blackwood's Magazine before being published in book form in 1863. This series was applauded for its acute characterizations and social commentary, as it explored the lives and social dynamics of a small English town. Mrs. Oliphant's work was well-received in her own life, and she was known to have been a favorite of Queen Victoria. She continued to write and publish up until her death on June 25, 1897. Her extensive oeuvre remains a testament to her remarkable productivity and the narrative power that has ensured her place in the pantheon of Victorian literature.
