| This monograph is not simply a painstaking summary of the more patent generalities of the subject, but rather a deeply sympathetic entering into the mind of Ruysbroeck, and that, too, with no common insight. Jan van Ruusbroec, otherwise known as Ruysbroeck, is thought, by no few competent judges, to be the greatest of all medieval Catholic mystics. Very little had been written with regard to the life and doctrine of this great Flemish contemplative of the 14th century. Miss Underhill is doing lovers of not only Catholic mysticism, but also of mysticism in general, a great service with this monograph. British writer of prose and poetry EVELYN UNDERHILL was a fellow of Kings College for Women and Kings College, and was the first woman to lecture to the clergy in the Church of England. Through her radio appearances and her stint as editor of the political magazine The Spectator, she was a familiar voice in British public life between the wars. |
