Pilgrimage One by Dorothy Richardson

Pilgrimage One by Dorothy Richardson

The first of a four-volume work by Dorothy Richardson, this novel records the life of Miriam Henderson. Through her experience - personal, spiritual, intellectual - the author explores what it means to be a woman.

There is no one word, such as romance or realism, to cover, even roughly, the works of Miss Dorothy RichardsonThe chief characteristic is one we for which we still seek a name. She has invented a sentence we might call the pyshcological sentece of the feminine gender... proving that the novel is not hung on a nail festooned with glory, but, on the contrary, walks the high road, alive and alert, and brushes shoulders with real men and women * Virgina Woolf *
One of the real achievements of our time... Miss Richardson has achieved a miracle of performance * Rebecca West *

Dorothy Richardson was the first writer to publish an English-language novel using what was to become known as the stream-of-consciousness technique. Her thirteen novel sequence PILGRIMAGE is one of the great 20th century works of modernist and feminist literature in English.
