Missing links for e-texts hosted at Blackmask.com have been fixed. More updates and a new section on Oliphant in translation coming soon. Do not hesitate to contact me if you can contribute any information on this subject.

This space is devoted to the life and works of Margaret Oliphant, or Margaret Oliphant Wilson Oliphant, as she often signed herself. Though I have found a few interesting links on her (check Links) since I began my research, it still is but little and not always organised or homogeneous. My wish in creating this site is to eventually provide a comprehensive introduction to the author and thus to contribute to the recent tide of academic interest in Mrs. Oliphant. Much (almost everything as yet!) is missing as you can see, but this site will be developed alongside my own Ph.D. thesis, as they both share the main subject. I will then be very happy to hear from any one interested in Mrs. Oliphant, whether out of a scholarly interest or not, and will warmly welcome all suggestions, comments and/or contributions.

My warmest thanks to Joan Richardson for her friendship, helpful comments, generous help and hard work for the 'Oliphant cause'!
