ABOUT THE AUTHOR
EVELYN UNDERHILL (1875 -1941), English poet, novelist, and writer on
mysticism, was born in England and educated at King’s College for Women,
London. In 1921 Miss Underhill was Upton Lecturer on the Philosophy of
Religion at Manchester College, Oxford. Between 1900 and 1920 she wrote
novels and light verse, but her lasting fame rests on the many books she
produced on various aspects of mysticism. The most famous of these is
Mysticism , which was first published in 1911. Among her other fine works
are: The Mystic Way (1913), Practical Mysticism (1915), The Essentials of
Mysticism (1920), The Life of the Spirit and the Life of Today (1922),
Concerning the Inner Life (1926), Man and the Supernatural (1927), and The
House of the Soul (1929).
First published in 1911, Mysticism remains the classic in its field and was
lauded by The Princeton Theological Review as “brilliantly written [and]
illuminated with numerous well-chosen extracts . . . used with exquisite
skill.”
Mysticism makes an in-depth and comprehensive exploration of its subject.
Part One examines “The Mystic Fact,” explaining the relation of mysticism to
vitalism, to psychology, to theology, to symbolism, and to magic. Part Two,
“The Mystic Way,” explores the awakening, purification, and illumination of
the self; discusses voices and visions; and delves into manifestations from
ecstasy and rapture to the dark night of the soul. Rounding out the book are
a useful Appendix, an exhaustive Bibliography, and an Index. Mysticism is
thoroughly documented with material drawn from such great mystics as St.
Teresa of Avila, Meister Eckhart, and St. John of the Cross.
