Dorothy Richardson


 
 

Dorothy Miller Richardson (17 May 1873 - 17 June 1957) was the first writer to publish a novel using what was to become known as the stream-of-consciousness technique. Her twelve novel sequence Pilgrimage is one of the great 20th century works of modernist and feminist literature in English.

Richardson was born in Abingdon, Berkshire into impoverished gentility. From the age of seventeen she was forced to earn her own living. This she did by working as a tutor-governess, first in Hanover, then in north London, and finally in an English country house. Her mother committed suicide in 1895, leading to the complete break-up of the family. Richardson moved back to London to work in Harley Street as secretary/assistant to a dentist.
