"The Perpetual Curate" is the 5th of seven works set in the delightful country town of Carlingford by Margaret Oliphant.

With that kind of constraint, she was able to crank out a novel as good as "The Perpetual Curate" in 1864. Frank Wentworth is the popular Perpetual Curate of the beautiful church of St Roque's in Carlingford. The position is poorly paid and has no district attached, though he has unofficially taken over the poor district of Wharfside and is proud of the "great work" in progress there.

Autor

Margaret Oliphant (1828.1897) was a prolific Scottish novelist and essayist whose works are celebrated for their insightful portrayal of Victorian society and church life. Born in Wallyford, near Edinburgh, Oliphant began writing at an early age to support her family after the death of her father. Over the course of her career, she authored more than ninety novels, as well as numerous biographies, histories, and critical essays, establishing herself as one of the most prominent literary figures of her time. Oliphant is best known for her Chronicles of Carlingford series, of which ' The Perpetual Curate ' is a key volume. Her fiction is distinguished by its realistic depiction of clergymen, family drama, and the moral complexities of small-town life. Through her nuanced characterizations and social criticism, Oliphant explored the challenges faced by women, the tensions within religious communities, and the shifting values of 19th-century England. Despite facing personal hardships, including the loss of her husband and children, Oliphant maintained a rigorous writing schedule and earned the respect of her contemporaries. Her legacy endures as a master of the Victorian novel, whose works continue to be studied for their psychological depth, wit, and enduring relevance to readers interested in church life, family dynamics, and the social history of Britain.
