Rreth këtij libri elektronik
Captain Bellendean of Bellendean has returned to Scotland to begin life on his estate. He has brought several people with him including the older Colonel Hayward. Helping with the festivities is Joyce, the village schoolteacher - an outgoing, popular girl of high intelligence. She is engaged to Andrew Halliday, the pedantic schoolmaster from the next village. Colonel Hayward is shocked when he sees Joyce - who looks like his first wife, disappeared years ago while pregnant, and never traced. He soon learns from Joyce's history that her mother is dead, and that she must be his daughter. Almost overnight Joyce leaves behind her whole life to go with her father and his second wife to his home in England. Mrs Hayward perhaps intends to be a good stepmother to Joyce, but in fact is cold, and blames Joyce for not adapting easily.

Rreth autorit
Margaret Oliphant Wilson Oliphant, commonly known as Mrs. Oliphant, was a prolific Scottish novelist and historical writer whose career spanned over five decades in the 19th century. Born on April 4, 1828, in Wallyford, Scotland, she became a prominent literary figure, producing more than 120 works, including novels, biographies, and historical texts.Mrs. Oliphant's life was marked by personal tragedies, including the loss of her husband, Francis Oliphant, and several of her children, which deeply influenced her writing. Despite these hardships, she maintained a remarkable output, often addressing themes of social mobility, gender roles, and the complexities of domestic life. Her keen observations and nuanced characterizations earned her a dedicated readership and respect among her peers.One of her most significant contributions was her ability to blend realism with supernatural elements, a style that prefigured the works of later writers like Henry James and Edith Wharton. Her Chronicles of Carlingford series, in particular, showcased her talent for creating vivid, small-town settings and intricate social dynamics.Mrs. Oliphant was also a trailblazer for women in literature, navigating the male-dominated literary world with determination and grace. She wrote extensively for Blackwood's Magazine, where she was both a contributor and an editor, making her one of the few women to hold such a position in her time.Her candid memoirs and essays provide invaluable insights into the Victorian literary scene, revealing her as a sharp critic and an advocate for women's intellectual and creative potential. Mrs. Oliphant's legacy endures as a testament to her resilience and her profound impact on the literary landscape of her era.
