Author's first work. A gothic novel about tragedy, love and loss. Mary Greenway McClelland (August 5, 1853 – August 2, 1895) was an American novelist who wrote under the name M. G. McClelland. Her first publication was Ole Ike's Memories (1884), a 16-page collection of poems in African-American dialect. She went on to publish many novels, mostly through publisher Henry Holt and Co. She published in magazines including Lippincott's Monthly, Youth's Companion, and Harper's Monthly. She also served on the editorial staff of Peterson's Magazine.[1][3] Her novels have attracted little critical notice after the 19th century. Several authors have taken note of the love triangle in Broadoaks, where a Northern and a Southern man compete for the affections of the same woman.[4][5] Cratis D. Williams criticized the portrayal of Southern mountaineers in three of her novels, writing that "her interpretations lack the ring of authenticity. Her knowledge of her subjects had been gathered from frontier fiction, magazine stories, and hearsay.
