In "The Makers of Modern Rome, in Four Books," Mrs. Oliphant intricately weaves historical narrative with vivid character studies to explore the profound transformations in Rome during the 19th century. Employing a blend of analytical rigor and lyrical prose, Oliphant offers a nuanced portrayal of key figures and events that shaped the city'Äôs modern identity. The book stands as an example of the Victorian historical genre, showcasing Oliphant'Äôs deftness in combining biography and socio-political analysis, while also addressing the broader implications of change in a city that is both historical and contemporary. Mrs. Margaret Oliphant, a prolific novelist and historian, was deeply immersed in the cultural and political discourse of her time.

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."
