Введение
Британский писатель Уильям Хейл Уайт (22 декабря 1831 года – 14 марта 1913 года), известный под псевдонимом Марк Резерфорд, был британским писателем и государственным служащим. В некрологе в газете The Times отмечалось, что "использование псевдонима, а порой и двух (некоторые работы 'Марка Резерфорда' были 'под редакцией его друга Рубена Шапкота'), свидетельствовало о замкнутости, и мистер Хейл Уайт редко появлялся на публике". Подборка его парламентских зарисовок была опубликована посмертно в 1897 году Джастином Маккарти, ирландским националистическим депутатом, под названием "Внутренняя жизнь Палаты общин". Уайт получил образование в Бедфорде, в Бедфордской современной школе, тогда известной как Английская школа, пока семья не переехала в Лондон. В 1848 году он поступил в колледж графинь Хантингдон в Чешунте для подготовки к служению в конгрегациональной церкви. Его взгляды становились все более нетрадиционными, и в 1850 году он обратился к Томасу Карлайлу, который ответил развернутым письмом, призывая его твердо придерживаться своих убеждений. Позже Уайт поступил в Новый колледж в Лондоне, но дальнейшее развитие его взглядов помешало ему выбрать эту карьеру, и он был исключен за сомнения в некоторых аспектах Священного Писания. Хейл Уайт стал известен как диссент. В 1852 году он был принят на работу Джоном Чапменом в качестве личного помощника и агента по подписке в журнале The Westminster Review. Работая вместе с Чапменом в The Westminster Review, Уайт был дружен с Джордж Элиот, и они оба жили в доме № 142 по улице Стрэнд в Лондоне, принадлежавшем Джону Чапмену. Уайт написал статью о своей дружбе с Джордж Элиот для журнала The Bookman в августе 1902 года под названием "Джордж Элиот, какой я ее знал". В 1854 году Уайт поступил на гражданскую службу, сначала в качестве клерка в Регистраторской палате в Сомерсет-Хаус, а затем в качестве клерка в Адмиралтействе. Более четырнадцати лет он писал парламентские зарисовки для The Birmingham Post. Джордж Оруэлл назвал роман "Освобождение" "одним из лучших романов на английском языке". Под своим именем Уайт перевел "Этику" Спинозы (1883). Его более поздние книги включают "Школьное воспитание Мириам и другие работы" (1890), "Кэтрин Фурз" (в 2 томах, 1893), "Клара Хопгуд" (1896), "Страницы из дневника и другие статьи" (1900) и "Джон Банян" (1905). Романы мистера Уайта проникнуты трогательной грустью, в которой, однако, есть и благородство, и красота. Он словно записывает откровение душевного опыта, а в простоте и прямоте своего повествования он в некоторой степени напоминает великих русских романистов.
the British writer
William Hale White (22 December 183114 March 1913), known by his pseudonym Mark Rutherford, was a British writer and civil servant. His obituary in The Times stated that the "employment of a pseudonym, and sometimes of two (for some of 'Mark Rutherford's' work was 'edited by his friend, Reuben Shapcott'), was sufficient to prove a retiring disposition, and Mr. Hale White was little before the world in person." A selection of his parliamentary sketches was published posthumously, in 1897, by Justin McCarthy, the Irish nationalist MP, as The Inner Life of the House of Commons. White himself was educated in Bedford at Bedford Modern School, then known as the English School, until the family moved to London. In 1848 he entered the Countess of Huntingdon's College, Cheshunt to train for the Congregational Ministry. He developed increasingly unconventional views and in 1850 wrote to Thomas Carlyle who responded with a full reply encouraging him to stand by his convictions. White later entered New College, London, but the further development of his views prevented him taking up that career and he was expelled for questioning aspects of scripture. Hale White became known as a dissenter. In 1852 he was employed by John Chapman to work as a personal assistant and subscription tout at The Westminster Review. Having worked alongside her for The Westminster Review, White was a friend of George Eliot and they both lodged at 142 Strand, London which was owned by John Chapman. White wrote an article about his friendship with George Eliot for The Bookman in August 1902 entitled George Eliot as I knew her. In 1854, White joined the civil service, first as a clerk at the Registrar General's Office at Somerset House and later as a clerk at the Admiralty. Over fourteen years he wrote parliamentary sketches for The Birmingham Post. George Orwell described Deliverance as "one of the best novels in English." Under his own name White translated Spinoza's Ethics (1883). His later books include Miriam's Schooling, and Other Papers (1890), Catherine Furze (2 vols, 1893), Clara Hopgood (1896), Pages from a Journal, with Other Papers (1900), and John Bunyan (1905). Mr White's novels have a poignant quality of sadness, in which, however, there is both nobility and beauty. He seems to be recording the revelation of a soul's experience, and in the simplicity and directness of his narrative, he is somewhat akin, to the great Russian novelists
André Gide, in a letter dated 4 October 1915, thanked Arnold Bennett for recommending White's works. Gide so admired The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford and Mark Rutherford's Deliverance that he considered writing French translations. And I have always a greater respect for Mark Rutherford: I do think he is jolly good so thorough, so sound, and so beautiful. Claire Tomalin, the biographer of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy, wrote that White's novels:
draw directly on a private store of memories and emotions, and you sense quite strongly that he took up a mask in order to be nakedly confessional in a way he could not otherwise have managed. Mark Rutherford School in Bedford is named after him and he has a blue commemorative plaque at 19 Park Hill in Carshalton. There is also a plaque above his birthplace in Bedford that was unveiled by his son, Sir William Hale White. When he retired from the Admiralty in 1892, he lived in Hastings for a number of years where a memorial plaque commemorates him. At the time of her marriage to White, Dorothy was forty five years his junior. A third son became an engineer, and White's daughter Molly remained at home to care for her father.

Андре Жид в письме от 4 октября 1915 года поблагодарил Арнольда Беннетта за рекомендацию произведений Уайта. Жид так восхищался "Автобиографией Марка Резерфорда" и "Освобождением" Марка Резерфорда, что подумывал о написании французских переводов. И я всегда испытываю большее уважение к Марку Резерфорду: я считаю его очень хорошим, очень точным, очень здоровым и очень красивым.
