About this book
Presented as the private papers of a country minister and edited by his fictional friend Reuben Shapcott, this quiet novel follows a young man trained for the Dissenting pulpit who slowly loses the faith he was raised to preach. William Hale White, writing as Mark Rutherford, drew closely on his own expulsion from a theological college and his years of doubt to describe an ordinary life shadowed by spiritual crisis, loneliness, and the grind of dull employment. There are no grand events here, only the honest record of a thoughtful man trying to live decently once the certainties of his childhood have fallen away. First published in 1881, it remains one of the most searching Victorian accounts of religious doubt and the search for meaning without dogma.
