Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Honeycomb: Pilgrimage Vol. 3" by Dorothy M. Richardson is a vast installment in the groundbreaking modernist novel sequence, "Pilgrimage." Published in the early 20th century, the novel keeps the narrative adventure of its protagonist, Miriam Henderson, as she navigates the complexities of her inner and outside worlds. In "Honeycomb," Richardson employs her modern movement-of-focus technique to delve into Miriam's mind and reviews, presenting readers a deep and intimate portrayal of her evolving focus. Set towards the backdrop of Edwardian England, the radical explores Miriam's relationships, aspirations, and encounters, imparting insight into the challenges faced by way of a lady grappling with societal expectations and private identity. The name "Honeycomb" suggests elaborate interconnectedness, mirroring the intricate layers of Miriam's existence as she weaves via the social material of her time. Richardson's prose is known for its poetic and introspective characteristics, and this quantity exemplifies her capacity to capture the subtleties of human emotion and notion. As the third quantity in the "Pilgrimage" series, "Honeycomb" contributes to the overarching narrative of Miriam's self-discovery, supplying readers a profound and immersive literary experience.

Book Pilgrimage

Download or read book Pilgrimage written by Dorothy Miller Richardson and published by Virago Press. This book was released on 1979 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Pilgrimage' was the first expression in English of what it is to be called 'stream of conciousness' technique, predating the work of both Joyce and Woolf, echoing that of Proust with whom Dorothy Richardson stands as one of the great innovatory figures of our time. These four volumes record in detail the life of Miriram Henderson. Through her experience - personal, spiritual, intellectual - Dorothy Richardson explores intensely what it means to be a woman, presenting feminine conciousness with a new voice, a new identity.

Book excerpt: From the INTRODUCTION by May Sinclair.I HAVE been asked to write a criticism of the novels of Dorothy Richardson. I do not know whether this essay is or is not going to be a criticism, for so soon as I begin to think what I shall say I find myself criticising criticism, wondering what is the matter with it and what, if anything, can be done to make it better, to make it alive. Only a live criticism can deal appropriately with a live art. And it seems to me that the first step towards life is to throw off the philosophic cant of the nineteenth century. I don't mean that there is no philosophy of Art, or that if there has been there is to be no more of it; I mean that it is absurd to go on talking about realism and idealism, or objective and subjective art, as if the philosophies were sticking where they stood in the eighties....

  • Author : Dorothy Richardson
  • Publisher : Broadview Press
  • Release : 2014-09-19
  • ISBN : 1460405072
  • Pages : 394 pages

Download or read book The Tunnel written by Dorothy Richardson and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tunnel is the fourth volume in Dorothy Richardson’s novel series Pilgrimage. The series, set in the years 1893-1912, chronicles the life of Miriam Henderson, a “New Woman” rejecting the Victorian ideals of femininity and domesticity in favour of a modern life of independence. In addition to the formal and stylistic innovations in The Tunnel, its attention to women’s experience of modernity is groundbreaking. It chronicles Miriam’s working day as a dental receptionist and her forays into the public space of cafés, city streets, and political and intellectual talks. Richardson matches her focus on Miriam’s consciousness with remarkable detail, giving the narrative a powerful realism. Contemporary reviews (including those by Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield), personal letters, and Richardson’s essays on modernism, feminism, and aesthetics place this important novel in context.

Book Moving Images  Mobile Viewers

Download or read book Moving Images Mobile Viewers written by Renate Brosch and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2011 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vision and movement seem to have shifted center stage in modes of experience in the last century: as a result of their joint effect, slow contemplative gazes at static images seem to be increasingly displaced by distracted "vernacular" ways of seeing. Looking out of the window of a speeding car, receiving photographs of Earth from outer space, watching the flickering images of the TV screen, scrolling through a text, zooming in on a location in Google Earth, or sending images via mobile phones or webcams - all these are unique visual experiences that were impossible before various inventions in the 20th century originated completely new kinds of movement. The double meaning of "moving images" is meant to signal the specificality of motion to these imagi(ni)ngs and, at the same time, to express the emotional power of those visual images which are able to transcend the constant stream of images in contemporary perception.

Book Portable Modernisms

Download or read book Portable Modernisms written by Emily Ridge and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luggage is an overlooked detail in the stock sketch of the expatriated modernist writer from the valise-fashioned desks of both James Joyce and Vladimir Nabokov to the lost manuscript-laden cases of Ernest Hemingway and Walter Benjamin. While the trope of modernist exile has long been spotlighted, little attention has been given to the material meaning of this condition. What things and objects do modernism's exiles and emigres carry with them and how does the act of carriage enter into the modernist picture more broadly? What are the implications and historical resonances of a portable outlook, particularly from the angles of gender, wartime conflict and character conception? Above all, how far does such an outlook impact upon artistic vision? Portability represents the simultaneous transportation and repudiation of domesticity and the home, those key frames of reference in the nineteenth-century novel. This book examines the multifarious ways in which the emergence of a modern culture of portability prompts a radical, if often problematic, departure from Victorian architectural conceptions of fiction towards more movable understandings of form and character.

Book Feminism and the Postmodern Impulse

Download or read book Feminism and the Postmodern Impulse written by Magali Cornier Michael and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1996-07-03 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael analyzes the intersections between feminist politics and postmodern aesthetics as demonstrated in recent Anglo-American fiction. While much has been written on various aspects of postmodernism and postmodern fiction and of feminism and feminist fiction, very little attention has been given to the postmodern aesthetic strategies that surface in post-World War II feminist fiction. Feminism and the Postmodern Impulse examines ways in which many widely read and acclaimed novels with feminist impulses engage and transform subversive aesthetic strategies usually associated with postmodern fiction to strengthen their feminist political edge. The author discusses many examples of recent feminist-postmodern fiction, and explores in greater depth Doris Lessing's The Golden Notebook, Marge Piercy's Woman on the Edge of Time, Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, and Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus. She shows that feminist-postmodern fiction's emphasis on the material historical situation—the link to activist politics and commitment to enacting concrete changes in the world, and thus the need to reach a large reading public—often results in a blending and transformation of postmodern and realist aesthetic forms. Moreover, feminist fiction uses deconstructive strategies not only to disrupt the status quo but also to create a space for reconstruction, particularly of recreating new forms of female subjectivities and feminist aesthetics.

Book H D  and the Public Sphere of Modernist Women Writers  1913 1946

Download or read book H D and the Public Sphere of Modernist Women Writers 1913 1946 written by Georgina Taylor and published by Oxford English Monographs. This book was released on 2001 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book locates H.D. within an Anglo-American 'public sphere' of women writers, a discursive arena in which individuals come together in debate and discussion. The theoretical framework used is that outlined in Jurgen Habermas's The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere, modified inorder to consider this group as a 'counter-public sphere', a non-dominant group whose interests were non-identical to those of the dominant public sphere.From 1913 a network of little magazines enabled women writers to come together in unprecedented numbers in public exchange. The ethos of this public sphere was a challenge to all convention, including challenges to the perceived sentimentality of earlier women's writing; H.D.'s Imagism was crucialin this. Initially this public sphere avoided engagement with the wider socio-political world, focusing instead on psychic reality. Writing became increasingly experimental in a new wave of avant-garde activity, fuelling heated debate in the magazines around the nature of 'literature'.By the mid 1920s this particular literary sphere had lost direction, but continued to experiment and seek new ways forward. New discussions around cinematic forms (in which H.D. participated) kept critical discussion very much alive. In the 1930s the work emerging from this network was increasinglypolitically aware. This was a period of highly disturbed writing such as H.D.'s Nights and Djuna Barnes's Nightwood, internalizations of the sadomasochism enacted on the world stage.After the war, this public sphere declined into personal exchanges in letters and private circulation of manuscripts.
