The orpans & Caleb Field, a Tale of the Puritans / Mrs. Oliphant. London, Chapman and Hall, 1865; 344 bladzijden. "Orphans, a Chapter in Life" is een roman uit 1857. This early novel tells the story of Clare Nugent, who lost both her parents at age 28. Despite the wealth she has inherited, she feels herself a lonely orphan with no purpose in life; and having turned away her true love almost a decade ago, she believes her future will be without love. Clare observes that unmarried women are so often "not good for anything", leading constricted or self-absorbed lives. Thus she is determined to find an occupation, and to be of use to others. This leads to various experiments and mishaps before she settles her future way of life.
"Caleb Field, a Tale of the Puritans" dateert uit 1851. This historical novel is set in the period shortly after the Restoration, when Puritan clergy had been expelled from the Church. Puritan minister Caleb Field chooses to continue preaching, and lives in hiding in the Northern Border region. But once the Great Plague of London is underway, Caleb and his daughter Edith take the brave step of travelling south to London, to minister to the populace, and provide help to the poor and dying. Edith also has a love interest. This early novel is not in the style of most Oliphant novels, and moves very slowly, but it does provide interesting details of this historic period.
