In Mrs. Oliphant's novel, 'The Marriage of Elinor,' we are presented with a nuanced exploration of social pressures, family dynamics, and the choices faced by women during the Victorian era. The novel's style is characterized by its detailed character development and social commentary, providing readers with a glimpse into the complexities of 19th century society. The literary context of the book reflects the emerging feminist movements of the time, as well as the changing views on marriage and women's roles in society. The Marriage of Elinor is a captivating read that delves into themes of love, duty, and autonomy, making it a valuable contribution to Victorian literature. Mrs. Oliphant's narrative skillfully captures the emotional turmoil and societal expectations faced by her protagonist, Elinor, as she navigates the intricacies of marriage and womanhood. As a prolific writer of the Victorian era, Mrs. Oliphant's own experiences and observations undoubtedly influenced her portrayal of Elinor's journey, adding depth and authenticity to the novel. I highly recommend The Marriage of Elinor to readers interested in Victorian literature, feminist themes, and compelling character-driven narratives.

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."
