The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford (1881) has long been recognized as one of the minor classics of Victorian fiction. William Hale White, himself an apostate from Calvinism, recounts the compelling story of a young Dissenting clergyman who loses his faith and is forced to rebuild his life in the sceptical atmosphere of London (often known in his day as `the modern Babylon'). As W. H. Massingham once remarked, `Since Bunyan, English Puritanism has produced one imaginative genius of the highest order', and White, better than any of his contemporaries recreates the lost world of the Nonconformist chapel in nineteenth-century England. This edition also includes the short story `A Mysterious Portrait', and two essays `Notes on the Book of Job' and `Principles'.

Clara and Madge, controversially educated and independent sisters, leave their provincial Fenmarket home for London-and social acceptance for Clara's illegitimate child. Shunning convention, the sisters' heroism and courage is eventually rewarded. A tale of love and independence that attracted accusations of immorality on its initial publication in 1896, Clara Hopgood is revolutionary in its treatment of its female characters.
