Evelyn Underhill


Evelyn Underhill was an English AngloCatholic writer and pacifist known for her numerous works on religion and spiritual practice, in particular Christian mysticism.

Underhill was born in Wolverhampton. She was a poet and novelist, as well as a pacifist and mystic. An only child, she described her early mystical insights as abrupt experiences of the peaceful, undifferentiated plane of realitylike the still desert of the mysticin which there was no multiplicity nor need of explanation. The meaning of these experiences became a lifelong quest and a source of private angst, provoking her to research and write.
