Sinossi
'The Revolution in Tanner's Lane' deserves to be more widely read and admired. Set in the early years of the nineteenth century, it offers a thought-provoking analysis of the tensions within the Dissenting community and its links with early political radicalism faced with a repressive government and, in addition, the more subtle challenges to faith that modern life brings. William Hale White (who used the pseudonym Mark Rutherford) was himself an apostate from Calvinism and writes with humanity, subdued wit and compassion.

Informazioni sull?autore
William Hale White (1831-1913) known by his pseudonym Mark Rutherford was a British writer and civil servant. White was born in Bedford educated at Bedford Modern School. He had already served an apprenticeship to journalism before he made his name as a novelist by the three books edited by his imaginary friend Reuben Shapcott, 'The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford' (1881), 'Mark Rutherford's Deliverance' (1885), and 'The Revolution in Tanner's Lane' (1887). Later books are 'Miriam's Schooling and Other Papers' (1890), 'Catharine Furze' (1893), 'Clara Hopgood' (1896), 'Pages from a Journal', with 'Other Papers' (1900), and The Early Life of Mark Rutherford. Though for a long time little appreciated by the public, his novels, particularly the earlier ones, share a power and style which must always give his works a place of their own in the literary history of their time. George Orwell described 'Mark Rutherford's Deliverance' as 'one of the best novels written in English'.
