Mrs. Margaret Oliphant, born Margaret Oliphant Wilson on April 4, 1828, was a prolific Scottish novelist and historical writer, whose work often reflected the values and concerns of Victorian society. Her literary career began in the 1850s, and Oliphant rapidly became a well-reputed figure in the realms of fiction and literary criticism. A contemporary of Charles Dickens and Anthony Trollope, Oliphant was recognized for her detailed character studies and depictions of domestic life. 'The Railway Man and His Children', one such work, explores the impact of the industrial revolution on family dynamics and societal structures, a common theme in her writing. Known for her strong female characters, Oliphant's narratives frequently grappled with issues of women's role in society, providing a unique perspective on the challenges faced by women of her time.

Her contributions extend beyond her own writing, as she worked as a reviewer and critic, shaping the tastes of the reading public. Despite personal tragedies, including the loss of her husband and children, Oliphant's literary output remained steady, cementing her legacy as a stalwart of 19th-century literature.
