Originally Published 1915. We are often told, that in the critical periods of history it is the national soul which counts: that "where there is no vision, the people perish." No nation is truly defeated which retains its spiritual self-possession. No nation is truly victorious which does not emerge with soul unstained.

First published in 1911, "Mysticism" is the seminal work on the subject by noted English Christian mystic and author Evelyn Underhill.
