Shorthouse, Joseph Henry
Shorthouse, Joseph Henry (1834–1903), is remembered as the author of the historical novel John Inglesant (1881), an evocation of 17th-cent. religious intrigue and faith. Inglesant becomes a tool of the Jesuit faction, joins the court of Charles I, and after the king's death visits Italy to seek vengeance for his brother's murder; the most interesting part of the book is an account of N. Ferrar's religious community at Little Gidding; the novel bears witness to the religious and historical interests revived by the Oxford Movement and the Pre-Raphaelites.

Shorthouse, Joseph Henry
Shorthouse, Joseph Henry (1834–1903), author of John Inglesant (1881). The son of Quaker parents, Shorthouse was baptized in the C of E in 1861. The delicacy and charm with which John Inglesant's spiritual pilgrimage is portrayed, its sympathetic understanding of the religious life of the 17th cent., and its vivid delineation of the community at Little Gidding made the book a powerful apologia for Anglicanism.
