"John Inglesant: A Romance (Volume 1 of 2)" by J. H. Shorthouse is a historical novel published in 1881. Set in 17th-century England, it follows an Anglican man educated by Jesuits who becomes entangled in religious intrigues between the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England. He serves as a courtier to Charles I, fights in the English Civil War, faces treason charges, and pursues his brother's murderer to Italy. Despite its dramatic plot, this is primarily a philosophical work exploring religious ideas through extensive theological debates. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
