Routledge The Selected Works of Margaret Oliphant, Part IV: Chronicles of Carlingford: 15 -19 (The Pickering Masters)

Part IV offers the first critical edition of the four full length novels and three stories that comprise the Chronicles of Carlingford. Each of the five volumes contains a full scholarly apparatus, including the important variations between the serial versions and the first publication in volume format.
