''Mysticism in English Literature'' is a scholarly work written by C. F. E. Spurgeon that explores the theme of mysticism in English literature. The book delves into the mystical elements found in the works of prominent English writers such as William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and William Wordsworth. Spurgeon examines how these writers infused their works with a sense of spiritual transcendence, exploring themes such as the nature of God, the soul, and the afterlife. The book also explores the historical context of mysticism in England, tracing its origins in medieval Christian mysticism and its influence on later writers. Spurgeon’s work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and spirituality, and it provides a comprehensive overview of the mystical tradition in English literature.1913.
