The Making of a Mystic
Author: Evelyn Underhill
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252047559
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941) achieved international fame with the publication of her book Mysticism in 1911. Continuously in print since its original publication, Mysticism remains Underhill's most famous work, but in the course of her long career she published nearly forty books, including three novels and three volumes of poetry, as well as numerous poems in periodicals. She was the religion editor for Spectator, a friend of T. S. Eliot (her influence is visible in his last masterpiece, Four Quartets), and the first woman invited to lecture on theology at Oxford University. Her interest in religion extended beyond her Anglican upbringing to embrace the world's religions and their common spirituality. In time for the centennial celebration of her classic Mysticism, this volume of Underhill's letters will enable readers and researchers to follow her as she reconciled her beliefs with her daily life. The letters reveal her personal and theological development and clarify the relationships that influenced her life and work. Hardly aloof, she enjoyed the interests, mirth, and compassion of close friendships. Drawing from collections previously unknown to scholars, The Making of a Mystic shows the range of Evelyn Underhill's mind and interests as well as the immense network of her correspondents, including Sir James Frazier and Nobel Prize laureate Rabindranath Tagore. This substantial selection of Underhill's correspondence demonstrates an exceptional scope, beginning with her earliest letters from boarding school to her mother and extending to a letter written to T. S. Eliot from what was to be her deathbed in London in 1941 as the London Blitz raged around her.

Book Description
The Abbe de Tourville's Letters of Directionare full of profound wisdom and insight. This is why they are also very practical and remain permanently contemporary. H.A. Williams CR The charm strength and appealing guidance given by the Abbe de Tourville can be summed up as his 'Sanctified Common Sense'- the measure of care, caution,boldness and acceptance signified in 'Behave just as naturally as if you were coming downstairs'- which is a clear picture of Incarnation and the ordinary following of Christ. Michael Hollings The Abbe de Tourville is one of those writers, of sound spirituality and sanctified common sense, whose works become minor classics with something to say for all ages. He knows that while the road to God is demanding, something has gone wrong if we feel anxious or fearfulk as we trewad along it. It is a book to be pondered over, rather than to be read at one sitting. Dom Adhelm Cameron-Brown Abbot of Prinknash>

Mysticism: A Study in Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness
Author: Evelyn Underhill
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1773560042
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Remaining a classic in its field, this book explains first how mysticism relates to such things as vitalism, theology psychology, symbolism and magic. This treatment may seem unusual for Christian mysticism, but it relates widely to the world as we know it and the different practices therein. Part Two explores the awakening, purification and illumination of yourself and gives solid groundwork for such things as voices, visions dreams and other mystical experience.

The Spiritual Formation of Evelyn Underhill
Author: Robyn Wrigley-Carr
Publisher: SPCK
ISBN: 0281081581
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Given the renewed interest in Evelyn Underhill with the publication of Evelyn Underhill’s Prayer Book (SPCK, January 2018), the time seems right to offer a fresh perspective on the writer’s spiritual formation. Having undertaken original research, Robyn Wrigley-Carr first explores the spiritual nurture that Evelyn Underhill received from Baron Friedrich von Hügel (‘to whom I owe my spiritual life’). Second she reveals the spiritual nurture that Underhill gave to people herself, utilizing both published and unpublished materials. At the heart of the book is the idea of a ‘long obedience in the same direction’: Underhill’s life had purpose and meaning as a result of the Baron’s spiritual direction and the soul care she tirelessly bestowed on others.
