Abstract

An astrological analysis of events in Robertson Davies's Deptford trilogy, inspired by Jungian studies on synchronicity, discovers the "meaningful coincidence" in the trilogy and links the stone hidden in Boy Staunton's youthful snowball to his death nearly sixty years later. This analysis suggests the range of coincidence that can be discovered by the discriminating reader.
