"The Story of a Governess" is one of the works by the master of domestic realism, the historical novel, and tales of the supernatural, Margaret Oliphant. She tells a story of a young girl ready for the self-denial of a governess position and the enclosed life of the old mansion, but, when turning pages, we learn that the fate and Mrs. Oliphant have made another plan for the young governess.

Mrs. Margaret Oliphant, a prolific Scottish novelist and historical writer, was born on April 4, 1828, in Wallyford, East Lothian, Scotland. Widely recognized by her contemporaries as simply 'Mrs. Oliphant,' she became a central figure in Victorian literature, known for her shrewd observations and nuanced characters. Her extensive bibliography spans across various genres including domestic realism, historical fiction, and supernatural tales. 'The Story of a Governess' is just a fragment of her voluminous work that provides insights into the social position and emotional landscape of a governess, reflecting Mrs. Oliphant's acute awareness of societal roles and expectations. Not constrained to fiction alone, she also penned biographies, literary histories, and was a regular contributor to Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. Her literary style often delved into the inner lives of characters, especially women, giving voice to their struggles and triumphs in an era when female narratives were frequently marginalized. Mrs. Oliphant's subtle irony and empathetic storytelling cemented her legacy as a key voice in 19th-century British literature. Her contribution to Victorian fiction remains notable, with scholars revisiting her work for its depiction of the socio-cultural landscape of the time. Mrs. Oliphant passed away on June 25, 1897, leaving behind a rich legacy that continues to be explored by readers and academics alike.
