2013 Reprint of 1920 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941) was an English Anglo-Catholic writer and pacifist known for her numerous works on religion and spiritual practice, in particular Christian mysticism. In the English-speaking world, she was one of the most widely read writers on such matters in the first half of the twentieth century. No other book of its type-until the appearance in 1946 of Aldous Huxley's "The Perennial Philosophy"-met with success to match that of her best-known work, Mysticism, published in 1911. The essays collected in this volume were written over eight years just prior to publication in 1920. Contents:
The Essentials of Mysticism
The Mystic and the Corporate Life
Mysticism and the Doctrine of Atonement
The Mystic as Creative Artist
The Education of the Spirit
The Place of Will, Intellect, and Feeling in Prayer
The Mysticism of Plotinus
