5.0 out of 5 stars Victorian Angst, March 31, 2002

This review is from: The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford and Mark Rutherford's Deliverance (Hardcover)

The 'Autobiography' and 'Deliverance' of 'Mark Rutherford' is a fictionalized autobiography (in two parts) by the Victorian civil servant and writer W. H. White. White wrote to help people with personalities like his own -- self-educated intellectuals, lonely, oversensitive, depressive, and with poor self-esteem. Fortunately, he never descends into self-pity or sermonizing. His writing has long been admired for its extraordinary precision, poignancy and economy. This makes him one of the best of the late Victorian novelists, and a writer who rewards repeated re-reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars An amazingly honest and personal account of the Vicorian era, January 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford and Mark Rutherford's Deliverance (Hardcover)

William H. White (Mark Rutherford) presents a completely honest account of his life in Victorian England. He reveals his struggle to find spiritual security in a world of doubt. At first glance, Rutherford may seem pessimistic, but only at first glance. He endeavors to take a spiritual journey comparable to John Bunyan (who, in fact, shared the same home town as Wm. H. White). Very apt for the modern reader who may find himself struggling with faith in a world of doubt.
