John Inglesant is a celebrated historical novel by Joseph Henry Shorthouse, published in 1881, and set in England and Italy during the 17th century, the work is concerned with conflicts between church and state, the Church of England and the Roman Catholic church, ritualism and simplicity, and different views of the sacraments, as well as other subjects.
