Description
The three great classes of symbols identified by Evelyn Underhill
in mystical literature are present in Swann's novels. They are the
symbols of the journey, human love and marriage, and purity and
perfection. An analysis of the symbols shows that their use is not
random, but consistent with a pattern of spiritual development composed
of several stages and called the Mystic Way. As a result, Swann's
novels can be read and enjoyed as works of fantasy or of mysticism.
