 		<dc:description id="description">A young dissenting minister searches for love and meaning amidst loneliness and doubt.</dc:description>

-			&lt;p&gt;The child of a pious non-conformist home in the Midlands, &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/mark-rutherford"&gt;Mark Rutherford&lt;/a&gt; trains for dissenting church ministry almost by default. Although outwardly not an especially pious young man, he nonetheless has depths to his spirit which seek meaning for his beliefs. As he settles into his first pastorate, Rutherford discovers that substance to his creed is too faint to support his public ministry. As he reaches this crisis of faith, so too he reaches a point of crisis in personal relationships.&lt;/p&gt;
-			&lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Autobiography&lt;/i&gt; reads very much like an amalgam “life-writing” and spiritual quest. The yearning for a kindred spirit and love is both distinct from, and simultaneously wrapped up in, the search for God and authentic faith. It was the first novel by Mark Rutherford, the pen name of William Hale White. Beyond the actual pseudonym, the novel’s “editor,” Reuben Shapcott, who ostensibly contributes the preface as well as the concluding paragraphs of this work, is a figment of White’s imagination. Even after the pseudonym was penetrated, readers continued to wonder just what the relationship was between author and character, as the boundary between them remains difficult to discern.&lt;/p&gt;
-			&lt;p&gt;Already by 1908, Rutherford’s “autobiography” had been used as the leading example of what one essayist termed “autobiografiction”—an apt category for this novel in which so much of William Hale White’s own life is infused. The contemporary author, &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/william-dean-howells"&gt;William Dean Howells&lt;/a&gt;, was deeply impressed by Rutherford’s &lt;i&gt;Autobiography&lt;/i&gt;, although also baffled by it. “We hardly know … whether to call [it] fiction,” he wrote in &lt;i&gt;Harper’s Magazine&lt;/i&gt;, at a time when the true identity of the author was as yet unknown. Howells’s sense that “readers who can think and feel” would find themselves “deeply stirred by it” remains true well over a century later.&lt;/p&gt;
