Inge, Rev. William Ralph. Studies of English mystics: St. Margaret lectures 1905. *$2. Dutton.
“In the spirit of reasonableness in which they write, the best English mystics of all ages resemble one another. The note of temperateness persists amid the vicissitudes of creed. This is seen very clearly in the works of the writers that form the subject of Dr. Inge’s suggestive studies. Lady Julian, an anchoress of Norwich, and Walter Hylton, Canon of Thurgarton, represent the mystical side of that English renaissance of the fourteenth century which is illustrated by Langland, Wiclif and Chaucer; William Law is the greatest mystical divine of the age of Pope and Addison; Wordsworth is the poet of the philosophical mysticism of the Romantic period. Dr. Inge also includes Robert Browning as a representative English mystic.”—Acad.

“Whatever we may think of Dr. Inge’s own conclusions, let us say distinctly that his analysis of these various writers is always lucid, tends to understanding and illumination.”

“Dr. Inge treats his subject with sympathy rather than with enthusiasm.”

“If we are to give a personal impression ... Dr. Inge’s treatment of the earlier mystics has something indistinct and hesitating about it.”
