OUR LADY NOVELISTS. Jane Austen never
departed from her easy, gossipping, lifelike
pictures of the upper middle class, abounding in subtle
humour, but tame as to sentiment and passion. Miss

Bronte was always the same in her forcible descriptions of
the gloomy flats of the inner life, whether transacted in a
Yorkshire village or in a Brussels boarding-school. Mrs.
Gaskell may be recognised without difficulty in the home-
like truthfulness and quiet fun—most Jane Austen-like
which mark her stories, whether of genteel or manufac-
facturing life, whether or not partaking of the favourite
sensational element of the day. " George Elliot,"
indeed, startled the world by the production of the
"Romola"—a tale as dissimilar as possible, both in cha-
racter and treatment, to the fictions of lower-class life
with which her name had before been connected. But,
clever as "Romola" was, it was a tour de force, and not in-
spiration. Jlrs. Oliphant, as it appears to us, possesses a
really wider range of power in this department of literature
than either of the authoresses mentioned. In her earlier
fiction, "Mrs. Margaret Maitland" for instance, she
seemed to echo the idyllic strain of Scottish life,
familiar to us thirty years ago in the tales of Professor
Wilson ; pleasing, but characterised by a certain
milk-and-water sentimentality. In the admirable series
of " Carlingford," she manifested an unexpected for
discrimination; a power of understanding and describing
