Description
Dorothy M. Richardson published Deadlock in 1921 as the sixth volume of Pilgrimage, her vast sequence of novels about Miriam Henderson. Richardson was a pioneer of the stream-of-consciousness novel in English, working beside Joyce and Woolf. Pilgrimage follows one woman's inner life across many books.
In Deadlock, Miriam's London days unfold as mind-flow: offices, streets, talk, and thought rendered as she lives them, moment by moment. Plot matters less than the weather of consciousness itself. Richardson's method remade what a novel could do, and Deadlock shows the experiment at full stretch, demanding and rewarding in equal measure.
