HENRY (1834-1903) , See also:English novelist, was See also:born in See also:Great See also:Charles See also:Street, See also:Birmingham, on the 9th of See also:September 1834. He was the eldest son of Joseph See also:Short-See also:house, chemical manufacturer, and See also:Mary See also:Ann, daughter of See also:John See also:Hawker, of the same See also:town. He was educated at See also:Grove House, See also:Tottenham, where he proved a promising and industrious See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf.

pupil, and upon leaving school entered his See also:father's business, in which he was all his See also:life actively engaged. He married, in 1857, Sarah, daughter of John See also:Scott, of Birmingham. His See also:literary See also:interest was fostered by a See also:local See also:essay See also:club, to which he contributed many papers. It was not until he was nearly fifty years old that Shorthouse made his public See also:appearance as an author, and even then his remarkable !See also:story, John Inglesant, had undergone vicissitudes. It was kept for over three years in MS., and the author eventually printed one See also:hundred copies for private circulation.

Ward, who recommended it to Messrs See also:Macmillan. Its first appearance was a quiet one; but See also:Gladstone was at once struck by its quality, and made its reputation by his praise. It became the most discussed See also:book of the See also:day, and its author was suddenly famous. Besides John Inglesant (1881), Shorthouse published
The Little Schoolmaster See also:Mark (1883), See also:Sir See also:Percival (1886), The Countess See also:Eve and A Teacher of the See also:Violin (1888), and See also:Blanche, See also:Lady See also:Falaise (1891); but none of these has been so popular as his first novel. He will always remain known to fame as " the author of John Inglesant." Shorthouse was originally a Quaker, but the See also:appeal of the See also:Anglican See also:- CHURCH

Church was insistent with him, and he was baptized into its See also:body before the appearance of his story.

time of the See also:Civil See also:War, a pupil of the See also:Jesuits, a philosopher and a Platonist, who is yet true to the See also:National Church. The story,
which is deeply mystical and imaginative, has for its central See also:idea the dangers of bigotry and superstition, and the See also:necessity of intuitive See also:religion to progress and culture. It is a See also:work.full of opulent See also:colour and crowded life, no less than of See also:philosophy and spiritual beauty. Shorthouse's work was always marked by high earnestness of purpose, a luxuriant See also:style and a genuinely spiritual quality. He lacked dramatic See also:faculty and the work-manlike conduct of narrative, but he had almost every other quality of the born novelist. He died at Edgbaston on the 4th of See also:March 1903.
