Author Information

Evelyn Underhill was born on December 6, 1875, the only child of Sir Arthur Underhill, barrister and bencher at Lincoln's Inn. She was educated largely at home but later went to King's College for Women. In 1911 research for her first book Mysticism introduced her to the work of Friedrich von Hugel, whose pupil she remained until his death in 1925. In 1921 she gave the Upton Lectures at Manchester College, Oxford, and it was in that year that she settled a dilemma of many years' standing and became a member of the Anglican Communion. Much of her life was devoted to religious work, visiting the poor and the direction of souls. Her writings on mysticism brought her an international reputation and a fellowship of King's College for Women, London. She died in 1941 at the age of sixty-five.
