This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Someone took a version of the freely downloadable copy of this book at Project Guttenburg and is now selling it. But it suffers from the same problems as the original version from that site.The lack of proper formatting makes it almost unreadable on the kindle. Many of the works in this book are old english in spelling and grammar, and the lack of formatting leaves symbols and gaps in the verse that should not be there ruining the prose, and in other places, making things run on that should be separated. The result is very hard to read and ruins the flow of the work.

The Oxford book of English mystical verse Daniel Howard Sinclair Nicholson AHE Lee 0884573402894 Books Reviews
A compendium of English mystical verse that can enrich one's literary and devotional experience. I consider it a one of the basic books in my Christian library and refer to it often.
I am thrilled to know that this book is back in print. I read it back in the early 70s. It was a library copy and already out of print, so I hand-copied all the poems I could. I've missed the rest ever since. Getting this new copy is like meeting an old friend--no, more than a friend, a mentor on my spiritual path. Don't miss this it's the real thing.
This book contains a few gems I had not read before, so I would like to give it a higher rating. However, the literary quality of most of the last half of the book is extremely low, full of tired rhymes and cliches. Much of the "mysticism" is of the misty variety, the sort the great mystics are constantly warning against. I would like to have seen the seventeenth century better represented (only two poems by Francis Quarles!). Also, fewer poems than I expected demonstrated a definite religious commitment, Christian or otherwise. I was, however, glad for the token representations of Jewish, Islamic, Hindu & Buddhist perspectives, little as they were.
Very interesting book that is written in Old English dialect. Some day when I have nothing to do, I'm gonna read this thing and be a much wiser person
Parts of the book I wish I knew Old English and Middle English
Wonderful, intuitive poetry of the spiritually attuned.
i am sorry i purchased this book on my kindle device because there is no index or table of contents; therefore, it is impossible for me to wade through all these pages searching for something i might actually enjoy reading or studying.
