Dorothy Richardson Libri
Dorothy Richardson fu una pioniera della prosa modernista, celebrata per il suo uso rivoluzionario del flusso di coscienza. La sua opera di una vita, un esteso ciclo di romanzi, approfondisce le complessità dell'esperienza femminile e le vite interiori dei suoi personaggi con una profondità senza precedenti. Richardson si concentrò sulla cattura delle sottili sfumature di pensiero e sentimento, spingendo i confini della narrazione tradizionale. Il suo stile, influenzato dalla cultura bohémien e dalle correnti filosofiche della sua epoca, portò un nuovo livello di realismo psicologico alla letteratura inglese.
