  Dorothy Richardson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The failure to recognise Richardson's role is partly due to the critical neglect of Richardson's writing during her lifetime.
Richardson can also be read as a feminist writer, not because she overtly calls for equal rights for women but because her work quite simply assumes the validity and importance of female experiences as a subject for literature.
Richardson's wariness of the conventions of language, her bending to near breaking point of the normal rules of punctuation, sentence length, and so on, are means towards what she termed feminine prose, which she clearly saw as necessary for the expression of this female experience.

Dorothy Richardson married Alan Odle, a self-employed artist--he never had a gallery and his hopes of an exhibition came to ruin--or as she might better say, he was a "self-occupied artist," much her junior.
Yet Dorothy had Bryher, a faithful and consistently loyal supporter, without whom it is easily guessed she would never have written her story of Miriam, her remembrance* of a woman which, commenced in 1906, was viewed from the continuing life of the author with its impoverishment and demands to neglect her talent.
Dorothy added to their funds--Alan's inheritance had long gone and he was by now completely dependent on her--writing innumerable articles, translations from medical treatises to philosophy to Gide--at the cost of the eventual completion of her novel.

Dorothy heard her moans and tried to reassure her: she was not stupid, she was not sinful, she was not eternally damned.
Dorothy wanted desperately to convince her mother of all this, but Mary Richardson had accumulated nearly thirty years of evidence to the contrary.
Dorothy wandered about for an hour or so, hoping to still the pounding in her head and erase from her mind’s eye the image of self-loathing that was her mother’s entire being, hoping she would not herself go mad.

Pilgrimage, Dorothy Richardson's thirteen-volume opus of autobiographical fiction, follows the entire arc of an independent woman's life in early twentieth-century Britain.
The Pilgrimage of Dorothy Richardson explores the ways in which Richardson used such cultural forms as sexology, psychoanalysis, and other lesbian and modernist literature of her time to create an intertextual dialogue about lesbian identity.
In addition to providing readers with a thought-provoking analysis of Richardson's life-work, The Pilgrimage of Dorothy Richardson further notes that it is necessary to look at Pilgrimage in the context of other works by female modernist writers that record lesbian identity.

 TIME.com: Cagey Subconsciousness -- Dec. 5, 1938 -- Page 1
Last week Dorothy Richardson's completed Pilgrimage was published in the U. (Knopf, 4 vols., $3 ea., $10 per set), and U. readers could see for themselves why Dorothy Richardson will probably continue to be the most abominably neglected modern writer.
Influenced by Henry James, Miss Richardson set out to write the first realistic novel probing the subconscious thoughts of a woman, a bold, original work that should be the feminine counterpart of Joyce's Ulysses and Proust's Remembrance of Things Past.
Joyce and Proust made valuable contributions to modern psychology by their "stream of consciousness." Dorothy Richardson, reducing the stream to a trickle, merely furnishes psychologists with another hard case to work on.

 Readers Guide to Richardson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Thomson's practical scholarship bridges the ruptures and absences in Richardson's narrative to help readers master Pilgrimage in its broader outlines, in its structure, time-scheme, and character relations.
Kristin Bluemel, author of Experimenting on the Borders of Modernism: Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage (University of Georgia, 1996), aptly captures Thomson's achievement:
"A Reader's Guide to Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage does more than serve as a long-awaited reference tool; it also reminds us of the way Richardson's luminous multi-volume novel participates, despite or even because of all its difficulties of time, in the ongoing debates about the critical practices and literary priorities of modernity."
