Intensely persecuted during the English Interregnum, early Quakers
left a detailed record of the suffering they endured for their
faith. Margaret Fell, Letters, and the Making of Quakerism is the
first book to connect the suffering experience with the
communication network that drew the faithful together to create a
new religious community. This study explores the ways in which
early Quaker leaders, particularly Margaret Fell, helped shape a
stable organization that allowed for the transition from movement
to church to occur. Fell's role was essential to this process
because she developed and maintained the epistolary exchange that
was the basis of the early religious community. Her efforts allowed
for others to travel and spread the faith while she served as
nucleus of the community's communication network by determining how
and where to share news. Memory of the early years of Quakerism
were based on the letters Fell preserved. Marjon Ames analyzes not
only how Fell's efforts shaped the inchoate faith, but also how
subsequent generations memorialized their founding members.
