"Fénelon: The Mystic" by James Mudge is a recounting of the life of François de Salignac de la Mothe Fénelon, a man of faith and learning, during a time of unrest in French society, written in the early 1900s. The story highlights Fénelon's origins and how his upbringing shaped his devotion and intelligence. It shows his attempts to live virtuously amid the lavish yet morally questionable court of King Louis XIV. The narrative weaves together Fénelon's relationships with key individuals, like Bossuet and Madame de Maintenon, to explain his spiritual path and efforts to support Christian morals during a politically and religiously charged period.
