Title: Not the translation I would recommend
Review: As a teacher, I cannot recommend this translation. The Victorian style may be elegant (as one reviewer suggested) but its overly flowery presentation can get between the reader and the subject, making Catherine sound like she was perpetually floating above the ground instead of living as a citizen of her time who was seeking to know God and live in a very practical manner in the world. The contrast between this translation and the one done by Dr. Suzanne Noffke is marked and I highly recommend the latter instead.
