Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
In "The Story of a Governess," Mrs. Oliphant weaves a compelling narrative that explores the nuanced and often marginalized experiences of women in Victorian society. Written in a rich, descriptive literary style, the novel delves into the life of its protagonist—a governess navigating the complexities of class, gender, and familial obligations. The story reflects the broader social context of the time, shedding light on the limited opportunities available to educated women and the societal expectations that both confined and defined their roles. Through a keen psychological lens, Oliphant captures the internal struggles and external challenges faced by her protagonist, inviting readers to ponder themes of autonomy and identity amidst societal constraints. Mrs. Oliphant, a prolific Scottish author of the 19th century, was known for her keen observation of social dynamics and her ability to empathize with the underrepresented. Drawing from her own experiences in a male-dominated literary world, Oliphant's writings often advocate for the emotional and intellectual lives of women, reflecting her commitment to social reform and her observations of class disparities. Her empathy for the plight of women in various domestic roles underpins much of the novel's emotional depth, making it a significant contribution to the literature of her time. I passionately recommend "The Story of a Governess" to readers interested in Victorian literature and feminist themes. Oliphant's deft narrative and insightful characterizations provide not only an engaging literary experience but also a relevant commentary on the historical context of women's lives. This book invites readers to reflect on the struggles for agency and fulfillment against the backdrop of a rigid societal framework.
Giới thiệu tác giả
Mrs. Margaret Oliphant, a prolific Scottish novelist and historical writer, was born on April 4, 1828, in Wallyford, East Lothian, Scotland. Widely recognized by her contemporaries as simply 'Mrs. Oliphant,' she became a central figure in Victorian literature, known for her shrewd observations and nuanced characters. Her extensive bibliography spans across various genres including domestic realism, historical fiction, and supernatural tales. 'The Story of a Governess' is just a fragment of her voluminous work that provides insights into the social position and emotional landscape of a governess, reflecting Mrs. Oliphant's acute awareness of societal roles and expectations. Not constrained to fiction alone, she also penned biographies, literary histories, and was a regular contributor to Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. Her literary style often delved into the inner lives of characters, especially women, giving voice to their struggles and triumphs in an era when female narratives were frequently marginalized. Mrs. Oliphant's subtle irony and empathetic storytelling cemented her legacy as a key voice in 19th-century British literature. Her contribution to Victorian fiction remains notable, with scholars revisiting her work for its depiction of the socio-cultural landscape of the time. Mrs. Oliphant passed away on June 25, 1897, leaving behind a rich legacy that continues to be explored by readers and academics alike.
