Margaret Oliphant Wilson Oliphant (1828-1897) was a Scottish writer of 120 works, including novels, travel books, histories, and volumes of literary criticism. Her second cousin, Anna Louisa Walker Coghill (1836-1907), an English and Canadian teacher and author, edited Mrs. Oliphant's autobiography.
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 Oliphant portrays 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.
