Evelyn Underhill (1875–1941) was a poet, novelist and author of numerous works on religion and spiritual practice, she is best known for her book Mysticism published in 1911 and still in print. She became a prominent Anglo-Catholic, proponent of contemplative prayer and member of the Anglican Pacifist Fellowship and prolific author. Exceptionally, for a woman of her time, she gave lectures for the clergy, conducted retreats and established ecumenical links. She became an honorary Doctor of Divinity (University of Aberdeen) and a Fellow of King’s College for Women, London. This book examines Underhill’s approach to mysticism and includes eight hitherto unpublished letters written by her to a novice at the Convent of St Mary the Virgin at Wantage.
Michael Ramsey (1904–88) was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1961 to 1974. An outstanding teacher and prolific writer, his books include such classic works as The Gospel and the Catholic Church, The Glory of God and The Transfiguration of Christ and The Christian Priest Today.
Arthur MacDonald Allchin (1930–2010), known as Donald Allchin, first gained recognition as a writer with The Silent Rebellion, a study of the nineteenth-century recovery of the monastic life in the Anglican Church. His interests in ecumenism and in the language, religion and culture of Wales were reflected in his becoming Director of the St Theosevia Centre for Christian Spirituality in Oxford 1987–94 and subsequently an honorary Professor in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Wales in Bangor. He is the author of Friendship in God: The Encounter of Evelyn Underhill and Sorella Maria of Campello (SLG Press, 2003, 2nd rev./2025).
