Dorothy Richardson

    Dorothy Richardson was een pionier van de modernistische proza, gevierd om haar revolutionaire gebruik van de stroom van bewustzijn. Haar levenswerk, een uitgebreide romanscyclus, duikt met ongekende diepgang in de complexiteit van de vrouwelijke ervaring en het innerlijke leven van haar personages. Richardson richtte zich op het vastleggen van de subtiele nuances van gedachten en gevoelens, waarmee ze de grenzen van de traditionele vertelkunst verlegde. Haar stijl, beïnvloed door de bohemien cultuur en de filosofische stromingen van haar tijd, bracht een nieuw niveau van psychologisch realisme in de Engelse literatuur.
