Delphi Complete Works of Hale White (Illustrated‪)‬

Famous under the pseudonym ‘Mark Rutherford’, Hale White was a late Victorian novelist, noted for his studies of Nonconformist experience. His landmark trilogy, the ‘Mark Rutherford Novels’, charts his progress from Protestant Christianity to a form of Wordsworthian pantheism, offering a profound psychological study of the Victorian ‘crisis of faith’. A close friend of George Eliot, White was also an early exponent of ‘New Woman’ fiction. The masterpiece ‘Clara Hopgood’ delivers a revolutionary treatment of female characters in its era, evaluating the limited life choices available to women in late-nineteenth-century society. Though his works were never bestsellers, they won the acclaim of prestigious admirers such as D. H. Lawrence, George Orwell and André Gide. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents White’s complete published works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
