My Favourite Mystic 7: Jane Shaw on Evelyn Underhill

My Favourite Mystic

AJ Langley speaks to Jane Shaw about the mystic, writer, and spiritual advisor, Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941). We talk about her quest for authentic spirituality, her letters of spiritual advise (which are very funny and worth a read), her work as a retreat leader, and her ability to find a balance between spiritual and domestic life.

Jane Shaw is Professor of the History of Religion and Principal of Harris Manchester College at the University of Oxford (@HMCOxford). For more from Jane on Evelyn Underhill, you can read her book, Pioneers of Modern Spirituality: The neglected Anglican innovators of a 'spiritual but not religious' age (2017).
