The Autobiography of Margaret Oliphant

By Mrs. Oliphant

Book Overview

After the death of Margaret Oliphant--the prolific nineteenth-century novelist, biographer, essayist, reviewer, and prominent voice on the "woman question"--two well-intending relatives took the autobiographical manuscripts she composed over a thirty-year period, and recomposed them to suit the model of a conventional memoir. In the process, they suppressed more than a quarter of the material. Based on the original manuscripts, the Broadview edition now makes available the missing text in its original order, and the restored Autobiography of Margaret Oliphantportrays a woman of scathing irony, anger, and grief. Part of Broadview's Nineteenth-Century British Autobiographies series, this edition also includes extensive excerpts from Oliphant's diaries.
