Autorenporträt
Margaret Oliphant, known professionally as Mrs. Oliphant, was a prolific Scottish novelist and historical writer, who typically portrayed domestic life and society in her works. Born on April 4, 1828, in Wallyford, Scotland, she gained considerable recognition in the Victorian era, contributing more than 120 works of fiction and non-fiction over her career. Mrs. Oliphant's literary style often intertwined the themes of gender, class, and the supernatural, allowing her to effectively address the roles and challenges of women in her time through subtle social commentary. 'Whiteladies' is one of her memorable works, showcasing her trademark blend of realism and romanticism, with an acute understanding of interpersonal dynamics and the intricacies of social structures. Mrs. Oliphant's contribution to literature was not just voluminous but also insightful, often exploring the resilience of women in the face of personal tragedies, much like those she herself experienced in her life. Despite the occasional critical denial of depth in her writing, her work resonates due to her nuanced characters and vibrant storytelling. She died on June 25, 1897, but remains a studied figure in the canon of 19th-century literature, not least for her depictions of Victorian society and the female experience within it.
