Dorothy Richardson was a major figure in twentieth-century literature. Her long, thirteen-volume work, Pilgrimage, is a landmark of European modernism. The Oxford Edition of Dorothy Richardson is the first authoritative version of her work. It includes a six-volume edition of Pilgrimage, avolume of her shorter fiction and poetry, a volume of her non-fiction, and three volumes of her collected letters. The edition includes a full scholarly apparatus in a form that is accessible to scholars, students, and the general reader. Pilgrimage (1915-1967) was Richardson's magnum opus. A semi-autobiographical narrative cycle, the first 'chapter-volume', Pointed Roofs, was published in 1915 and the last unfinished part, March Moonlight, in a posthumous collected edition in 1967. It was the first literary work to be described as'stream of consciousness'-by May Sinclair in 1918-a phrase which came to serve as a description for a whole movement in early twentieth-century fiction. Known and admired by writers throughout the twentieth century, like many women modernists, Richardson had to wait until second wave feminism in the 1970s for proper critical recognition. Since then her reputation has gradually been re-established. The Oxford edition of her work is the culmination ofseveral decades of scholarship and restores her to her rightful place in literary history. Volume IV presents Pilgrimage 1 and 2: Pointed Roofs and Backwater. | The Oxford Edition of the Works of Dorothy Richardson Volume IV by Scott Mccracken, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
