Dorothy Richardson

    Dorothy Richardson fut une pionnière de la prose moderniste, célébrée pour son utilisation révolutionnaire du courant de conscience. Son œuvre d'une vie, un vaste cycle romanesque, explore les complexités de l'expérience féminine et les vies intérieures de ses personnages avec une profondeur sans précédent. Richardson s'attacha à capturer les nuances subtiles de la pensée et du sentiment, repoussant ainsi les limites de la narration traditionnelle. Son style, influencé par la culture bohème et les courants philosophiques de son époque, apporta un nouveau niveau de réalisme psychologique à la littérature anglaise.
