Description
Evelyn Underhill published Mysticism in 1911, a study of the nature and growth of man's spiritual awareness. She wrote as a scholar who also practiced the life she described. The large book at once became the standard English work on its subject.
Underhill traces the mystic way through awakening, purification, illumination, the dark night, and union, drawing on saints and writers from many ages. She quotes widely and treats mysticism as a real, testable side of human life. Her book brought the mystics to modern general readers and founded the modern study of the subject in English.
