Cloud of Unknowing
| | 1912. A book of contemplations. Edited from the British Museum M.S. Harl. 674 with an introduction by Evelyn Underhill. "The little family of mystical treatises which is known to students as 'the Cloud of Unknowing group,' deserves more attention that it has hitherto received from English lovers of mysticism: for it represents the first expression in our own tongue of that great mystic tradition of the Christian neo-platonists which gathered up, remade, and 'salted with Christ's salt' all that was best in the spiritual wisdom of the ancient world". | |

Concerning the Inner Life

Miss Underhill is universally recognized as an authority on mysticism and has the depth and expansiveness of spiritual experience which she enjoins on all leaders. This work contains three lectures originally delivered at the Liverpool Diocese. | |

One Hundred Poems of Kabir
| | 1915. Introduction by Evelyn Underhill; Kabir's Poems. The Poetry of mysticism might be defined on the one hand as a temperamental reaction to the vision of Reality: on the other hand, as a from of prophecy. As it is the special vocation of the mystical consciousness to mediate between two orders, going out in loving admiration towards God and coming home to tell the secrets of Eternity to other men; so the artistic self-expression of this consciousness has also a double character. it is love-poetry, but love-poetry which is often written with a missionary intention. | |
