Autor

Margaret Murray Robertson (1821-1897) was a Scottish-Canadian author well-regarded for her work in juvenile fiction during the 19th century. Born in Scotland before emigrating to Canada, Robertson engaged deeply with themes pertinent to immigrant experiences and the clash and blending of different cultural identities. In her narratives, she intricately portrayed characters that often mirrored the struggles and triumphs of life in new terrains, as seen in 'The Orphans of Glen Elder' – a work that embodies her literary preoccupations. The extensive reach of Robertson's work is reflected in how her narratives encapsulated the complexities of social life, earning her a notable place in the canon of early Canadian literature. With an empathetic and moralistic tone, her stories often unfolded against pastoral backdrops, revealing her affinity for nature and rural settings. Her prose has been described as richly textured, reflecting both her Scottish heritage and her adopted homeland's influence. Robertson's inclusion of Presbyterian ethics and an emphasis on resilience and character development marked her as a distinct voice of her era, one that spoke with authenticity to the children and young adults who were the primary audience for her literary endeavors.
