As a book category, “Dohnavur” refers to literature centered on the Dohnavur Fellowship in Tamil Nadu, India, founded by Irish missionary Amy Carmichael in the early 20th century. It includes Carmichael’s own narratives, poetry, and devotional writings; biographies of her and her colleagues; histories of the Fellowship’s child-rescue and community life; and related children’s or mission stories set in or shaped by Dohnavur. Typical themes are sacrificial service, prayerful dependence, protection of vulnerable children (especially from the former devadasi system), cross-cultural mission, women’s dignity, practical holiness, and the rhythms of communal Christian life in South India. The tone ranges from lyrical and contemplative to documentary and biographical, appealing to readers of Christian spirituality, missions history, and social reform.
