Produktbeschreibung

In 'The Laird of Norlaw; A Scottish Story' by Mrs. Oliphant, readers are transported to the enchanting Scottish landscape through a tale of inheritance, family secrets, and societal expectations. The novel is characterized by its vivid descriptions of the Scottish countryside and its exploration of complex family dynamics. Mrs. Oliphant's literary style is marked by a keen attention to detail and emotional depth, reminiscent of other Victorian-era authors. The story serves as a window into 19th-century Scottish life, offering a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the time. Mrs. Oliphant, a prolific Victorian novelist, drew inspiration from her own experiences and observations to craft this engaging narrative. Her deep understanding of human relationships and societal structures is evident throughout the book, as she delves into themes of class, duty, and love. The author's background as a woman writing in a male-dominated literary world adds layers of complexity to the story's exploration of gender roles and expectations. I highly recommend 'The Laird of Norlaw; A Scottish Story' to readers who enjoy Victorian literature, historical fiction, and stories that delve into the intricacies of human relationships. Mrs. Oliphant's exploration of Scottish culture and family dynamics makes this novel a captivating and thought-provoking read.

Autorenporträt

Margaret Oliphant Wilson Oliphant was a Scottish author and historical writer who usually wrote under the name Mrs. Oliphant. She was born Margaret Oliphant Wilson on April 4, 1828, and died on June 20, 1897. She writes "domestic realism, the historical novel, and tales of the supernatural" as her short stories. Margaret Oliphant was born in Wallyford, near Musselburgh, East Lothian. She was the only daughter and youngest child still living of Margaret Oliphant (c. 1789 17 September 1854) and Francis W. Wilson, a clerk. We lived in Lasswade, Glasgow, and Liverpool when she was a child. In Wallyford, a street called Oliphant Gardens is named after her. As a girl, she was always trying new things with writing. Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland, her first book, came out in 1849. This was about the mostly successful Scottish Free Church movement, which was something her folks agreed with. Next came Caleb Field in 1851, the same year she met publisher William Blackwood in Edinburgh and was asked to write for Blackwood's Magazine. She did so for the rest of her life and wrote over 100 articles, including one that criticized Arthur Dimmesdale in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter."
