""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.
