Excerpt: "It would have been hard, however, to have looked upon the face of Mrs James Ogilvy as she went about her little household duties in the morning, or took her walks about the garden, or knitted her stocking in the placid afternoon, and to have thought of her as discontented or struggling with fate. She was about sixty, a little woman but trim in figure, with a pleasant colour, and eyes still bright with animation and interest. Perhaps you will think it ridiculous to be asked to interest yourself in the character and proceedings of an old woman of sixty when there are so many younger and prettier things in the world: which I allow is quite true in the general: yet there may be advantages in it, once in a way."
Звесткі пра аўтара
Margaret Oliphant Wilson Oliphant, commonly known as Mrs. Oliphant, was a prolific Scottish novelist, biographer, and historical writer of the 19th century. Born on April 4, 1828, in Wallyford, Scotland, she emerged as a literary force with an impressive oeuvre that spanned over 120 novels, numerous short stories, and critical essays. Her works often explored themes of domestic life, social issues, and the supernatural, reflecting the complexities of Victorian society.Mrs. Oliphant's life was marked by personal tragedy and resilience. Widowed at a young age, she became the sole breadwinner for her family, a role she embraced with remarkable tenacity. Her ability to balance prolific writing with personal hardship has intrigued modern readers, offering a poignant glimpse into the life of a woman who defied the constraints of her time.A contemporary of Charles Dickens and George Eliot, Mrs. Oliphant was both a peer and a critic of her fellow writers. Her literary criticism, particularly her work on the "Victorian Age of English Literature," showcased her deep understanding of the literary landscape and her willingness to challenge prevailing norms.Notably, Mrs. Oliphant's exploration of spiritualism and the supernatural set her apart from many of her contemporaries. Her fascination with these themes predated the broader cultural interest that would later emerge in the late Victorian era, positioning her as a forerunner in the genre.Despite her significant contributions, Mrs. Oliphant's work often flew under the radar, overshadowed by her male counterparts. However, her nuanced portrayal of women's inner lives and societal roles has garnered renewed interest, making her a subject of study for those interested in feminist literary history.In sum, Mrs. Oliphant's legacy is one of resilience, innovation, and a profound understanding of the human condition, ensuring her place in the annals of literary history.
