This is a novel written in the form of a series of letters by the French mystic Etienne Pivert de Senancour (1770 - 1846). Waite was led to the novel through his reading of Matthew Arnold's poems on Senancour and decided that the "primitive untutored mysticism" of the author deserved broader recognition.
