"Dorothy Richardson's thirteen-volume Pilgrimage is crowded with references from the last decade of the Victorian era and the first decade of the twentieth century." "Pilgrimage's stream-of-consciousness narrative evokes these references and interests in elusive, complex ways. Even accomplished readers, following in the wake of the heroine's personal revelations, are hard-pressed to understand aspects of the more public scene from turn-of-the-century England." "Notes on 'Pilgrimage', by identifying historical persons, events, ideas, quotations as well as writings that underpin Richardson's story, illuminates these factual details and enriches our understanding of the narrative. A translation of foreign words and phrases, a record of textual misprints and a thorough two-part index add to the value of the book."--Jacket
