Produktinformationen "A Widow's Tale, and Other Stories"

A Widow's Tale, and Other Stories gathers Mrs. Oliphant's finely calibrated short fiction around the pressures of bereavement, memory, social judgment, and the quiet dramas of domestic life. Written in a lucid, observant, and morally subtle Victorian prose, the collection transforms seemingly modest situations into searching studies of character and conscience. Its literary context is the late nineteenth-century magazine culture in which realist fiction, sensation, and the tale of psychological unease often met; Oliphant's art lies in making the ordinary household a theatre of ethical revelation. Mrs. Oliphant, born Margaret Oliphant Wilson, was one of the most prolific and versatile writers of the Victorian age. Widowed early and burdened with the financial support of her family, she understood with unusual intimacy the precarious position of women who must negotiate grief, independence, and social expectation. That lived knowledge informs the emotional authority of these stories, where widowhood is not merely a condition but a lens through which power, vulnerability, and endurance are examined. This volume is recommended to readers of Victorian fiction who value psychological acuity over melodrama and social insight over easy sentiment. It will especially reward admirers of George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, and late Victorian domestic realism.
