Produktbeschreibung
The heir presumptive and the heir apparent examines the complexities of inheritance, social expectations, and the tension between personal desires and duty. A noble family faces the shifting dynamics of succession as an heir presumptive must navigate the responsibilities of his position while pursuing love that challenges societal norms. The weight of tradition looms over his choices, as marriage becomes more than a personal decision it is a reflection of class, status, and familial legacy. The contrast between those who are bound by duty and those who live without such constraints highlights the rigid expectations placed upon individuals born into privilege. The narrative explores the balance between ambition and obligation, as characters maneuver through relationships shaped by hierarchy and propriety. Through moments of humor and introspection, the novel reveals the fragile nature of aristocratic stability, where even the certainty of inheritance can be upended by personal ambition or unforeseen circumstances.
Autorenporträt
Margaret Oliphant was a Scottish author and historical writer who usually wrote under the name Mrs. Oliphant. She was born Margaret Oliphant Wilson on April 4, 1828, and died on June 20, 1897. She writes "domestic realism, the historical novel, and tales of the supernatural" as her short stories. Margaret Oliphant was born in Wallyford, near Musselburgh, East Lothian. She was the only daughter and youngest child still living of Margaret Oliphant (c. 1789 17 September 1854) and Francis W. Wilson, a clerk. We lived in Lasswade, Glasgow, and Liverpool when she was a child. In Wallyford, a street called Oliphant Gardens is named after her. As a girl, she was always trying new things with writing. Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland, her first book, came out in 1849. This was about the mostly successful Scottish Free Church movement, which was something her folks agreed with. Next came Caleb Field in 1851, the same year she met publisher William Blackwood in Edinburgh and was asked to write for Blackwood's Magazine. She did so for the rest of her life and wrote over 100 articles, including one that criticized Arthur Dimmesdale in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter".
