Review: Mysticism in Early Modern England by Liam Temple

My review of Mysticism in Early Modern England by Liam Temple has just appeared in British Catholic History, the journal of the Catholic Record Society. The book is a groundbreaking one that demonstrates the centrality of the Benedictine monk Augustine Baker to all 17th-century mystical thought – Catholic, Protestant and radical – and demonstrates the importance of the neglected mystical tradition to the history of the later English Reformation.
