From the jacket flap - "E. Allison Peers's translation of St. John of the Cross was first published in 1935. The only version that makes the complete writings of the great Carmelite saint and Doctor of the Church accessible to English-speaking readers, it has also become an acknowledged classic of translation over time. Writing in The Times at the time of Professor Allison Peers's death, Professor David Knowles declared his translation "the most faithful that has appeared in any European language; it is indeed much more than a translation, for he added his own valuable historical and exegetical notes, and did not hesitate occasionally (and wisely) to adopt readings rejected or misunderstood by the editor." The reissue of this compact, readable three volumes in one edition is in response to constant demand".
