About this listen

In Backwater, the second volume of Dorothy Richardsons groundbreaking Pilgrimage series, we dive deeper into the life of Miriam Henderson, a character drawn from the authors own experiences between 1891 and 1915. Richardson, a pioneer of the stream of consciousness narrative style—though she preferred the term interior monologue—captures the complexities of female existence with remarkable authenticity. As Miriam navigates her new role as a teacher at a girls school in North London, she grapples with societal expectations surrounding marriage, religion, and happiness, all while seeking to broaden her understanding of the world around her. Virginia Woolf praised Richardsons unique psychological prose, which resonates with the feminine experience, making this volume a vital read for those interested in feminist literature and innovative storytelling.
