Margaret Oliphant Obituary

This is Margaret Oliphant's Obituary which was published in The Englishwoman's Review. Oliphant passed away June 25, 1897. Interestingly enough, this women's based periodical was one of the only places I found Oliphant's obituary. The obituary highlights her writing career emphasizing that her works of fiction will carry out her legacy. However, she was more than just a fiction writer having written biographical works as well. I find it to be worth noting that the obituary also mentions that her piece "The Chronicles of Carlingford" was first published in Blackwood's Magazine- which is where her piece, "The Library Window" was also first published. This provides some insight that Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, a prominent publication of its time, was very fond and supportive of Oliphant and her work.
