Produktbeschreibung
The revolution in Tanner s lane examines the tension between personal conviction and public ideology in a time of upheaval. The narrative opens during a moment of national celebration in London, where crowds welcome a returning monarch, yet one man stands apart, embodying dissent and quiet resistance. His solitude amid the celebration reveals a deeper discomfort with dominant political ideologies and sets the tone for a story of internal and external conflict. The protagonist, deeply engaged with radical political thought, becomes involved in a street incident that forces him to confront both societal violence and his role within it. As the story unfolds, his intellectual world expands through debates on reform and revolution, exposing the friction between progressive ideals and conservative pressures in both his political and personal life. His strained marriage to someone who cannot reconcile with his ideals adds emotional weight to his struggle. The novel weaves together the pursuit of truth, the burden of isolation, and the desire to remain morally steadfast in a world that demands compromise, ultimately portraying the cost of integrity during political transformation.
Autorenporträt
William Hale White, known by the pseudonym Mark Rutherford, was born on 22 December 1831 in Bedford, United Kingdom, to William White and Mary White. Raised in a nonconformist household, he initially trained for the Congregational ministry at New College, London, but later left due to religious doubts. He eventually joined the civil service, working for the Admiralty and later for the Board of Trade. Despite his reserved public presence, his introspective nature and intellectual pursuits found expression in literature. Writing under the name Mark Rutherford, and occasionally using an invented editor's voice, he explored themes such as personal conscience, moral struggle, and religious disillusionment. His most notable works include The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford, Mark Rutherford's Deliverance, and The Revolution in Tanner's Lane, each reflecting his philosophical depth and emotional candor. White's fiction often blurred the line between autobiography and novel, offering meditative insights into faith, alienation, and the complexity of Victorian inner life. He died on 14 March 1913 in Groombridge, United Kingdom. His son, William Hale-White, became a well-known physician and medical writer.
