A poet novelist pacifist and mystic Evelyn Underhill (18751941) spent her life deeply immersed in the things she wrote about. At first an agnostic Underhill became drawn to Catholicism though her husband a Protestant tried to dissuade her. Instead of taking the traditional Christocentric view held by most AngloCatholics Underhill gravitated toward a more intellectual side of religion. With her work Practical Mysticism Underhill expounds on her views of spirituality from a secular standpoint arguing that spiritual life is innate in all humans a part of human nature and that all of life is sacred. A product of the Edwardian era Underhills works are romantic and unashamedly sensuous. A prominent figure in her field of interest while she was writing Underhill remains a respected writer on religion and spiritual practice.show more
