About this audiobook
In her landmark Pilgrimage Dorothy Richardson pioneered the English ‘stream of consciousness’. Echoing the style of Marcel Proust, and predating the work of Virginia Woolf and James Joyce, she created an intimate narrative on an epic scale. Across 13 novels – which she considered to be ‘chapters’ – she details the thoughts and experiences of Miriam Henderson, exploring her journey towards creative independence and revealing feminine consciousness in unprecedented depth. In Volume 1 (containing Pointed Roofs, Backwater and Honeycomb), Miriam steps into her first teaching roles in Germany and England, confronting new freedoms and the pressure to conform. Exquisite psychological detail, articulated here with such finesse by Lucy Scott, takes us directly inside Miriam’s restless, searching mind. Please be advised that this audiobook occasionally contains language that listeners today may find offensive.
