RUTHERFORD, See also:MARK , the See also:pen-name of See also:William See also:Hale See also:White, See also:English author, who was See also:born at See also:Bedford about 183o. His See also:father, William White, a member of the See also:nonconformist community of the See also:Bunyan See also:Meeting, removed to See also:London, where he was well known as a doorkeeper of the See also:House of See also:Commons; he wrote sketches of See also:parliamentary See also:life for the Illustrated Times, papers afterwards collected by his son as The Inner Life of the House of Commons (1897). The son was educated for the Congregational See also:ministry, but the development of his views prevented his taking up that career, and he became a clerk in the See also:admiralty. He had already served an See also:apprenticeship to journalism before he made his name as a novelist by the three books " edited by See also:Reuben Shapcott," The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford (1881), Mark Rutherford's Deliverance (1885), and The Revolution in See also:Tanner's See also:Lane (1887). Under his own name he translated See also:Spinoza's Ethic (1883). Later books are Miriam's Schooling, and other Papers (1890), See also:Catherine See also:Furze (2 vols., 1893), See also:Clara Hopgood (1896), Pages from a See also:Journal, with other Papers (1900), and See also:John Bunyan (1905). Though for a See also:long See also:time little appreciated by the public, his novels—particularly the earlier ones-have a See also:power and See also:style which must always give his See also:works a See also:place of their own in the See also:literary See also:history of their time.
