"The Alchemist's Daughter" is a novel by William Frend De Morgan, an English potter, tile designer, and novelist, associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement. De Morgan turned to writing later in life, and "The Alchemist's Daughter" is one of his lesser-known works, overshadowed by his more popular novels such as "Joseph Vance" and "Alice-for-Short."

Published posthumously in 1908, "The Alchemist's Daughter" is a historical romance set in the seventeenth century. The novel weaves a tale of love, mystery, and the pursuit of knowledge, against the backdrop of the age of alchemy. The story follows the life of the eponymous daughter of an alchemist, who finds herself entangled in the complexities of her father's secretive and obsessive quest to discover the philosopher's stone—a legendary alchemical substance said to be capable of turning base metals into gold and granting eternal life.

De Morgan's narrative style is characterized by his wit, intricate plotting, and a keen eye for detail, which he brings to the historical setting of the novel. His work reflects the influence of his contemporaries, such as Charles Dickens, in its social commentary and exploration of human nature. "The Alchemist's Daughter" delves into themes of science versus superstition, the role of women in society, and the conflict between rationality and passion.

The novel is a reflection of De Morgan's own interests in the mystical and the scientific, as he himself was known for his experimentation with glazes and firing techniques in his ceramic art. "The Alchemist's Daughter" stands as a testament to De Morgan's storytelling abilities and his contribution to the literary landscape of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.
