The Deepening Stream, by Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Author: Dorothy Canfield Fisher. Review by Kate Macdonald

by Kate Macdonald 22nd October 2021

Dorothy Canfield Fisher’s 1930 novel will soon be available in a new edition from Persephone Books, and has a particular interest for Friends. Fisher was not, so far as I can make out, a Quaker herself, but her vigorous involvement in pacifism, war relief in the first world war, child education (she introduced the Montessori method to the US) and feminism are adjacent to Quaker concerns.
