Mysticism in English Literature

by Caroline F. E. Spurgeon

Overview

Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. Mysticism in English Literature by C. F. E. Spurgeon was first published in 1913. Beginning with a precise definition of the term mysticism, Spurgeon looks at the ways in which mystical thought influenced many of England's finest writers on questions of love, beauty, nature, philosophy and religion.
