As one of the first English novelists to employ "stream of
consciousness" as a narrative technique, Dorothy Richardson ranks
among modernism's most important experimentalists, yet her epic
autobiographical novel "Pilgrimage" has rarely received the kind of
attention given to the writings of her contemporaries James Joyce,
Virginia Woolf, and Marcel Proust.
Kristin Bluemel's study explores the relationship between
experimental forms and oppositional politics in "Pilgrimage,"
demonstrating how the novel challenged the literary conventions and
cultural expectations of the late-Victorian and Edwardian world and
linking these relationships to the novel's construction of a
lesbian sexuality, its use of medicine to interrogate class
structures, its feminist critique of early-twentieth-century
science, and Richardson's short stories and nonfiction.
