The Tunnelis 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.… (mehr)

The Tunnel is the fourth novella in Dorothy Richardson's semi-autobiographical work, Pilgrimage. Miriam Henderson is now in her early 20s and has left teaching behind for an administrative position in, of all places, a dental surgery. She manages appointments, keeps the books, and even performs duties that would fall to a trained dental hygienist today. My first reaction to these scenes was, "thank goodness for advances in dentistry during the 20th century!” And yet Miriam finds community in this setting, and greatly enjoys her new-found independence. She enjoys the company of women friends, and ventures into “adventuresome” new territory by learning to ride a bicycle. And wearing knickers!

This was a period of significant growth for Miriam, and many times I reveled in her happiness. But I also struggled more with the stream of consciousness style than in the earlier novellas. The reader is so deep inside Miriam’s head that external details are often not described. New characters appear on the scene with little introduction. We can infer she has feelings for a certain gentleman, and that the relationship ends, but there's little “story arc” associated with this -- just breadcrumbs left along the way. Likewise changes in setting receive little explanation. Miriam might be in London one moment and the countryside the next, but the narrative does not include the journey or her reason for taking it.

Towards the end of this book I found myself longing for more traditional narrative structure. I think it will work better for me to read the remaining novellas in small doses. ( )
