A forgotten English modernist gets a full French translation at last
Les éditions du Chemin de fer begin publishing the complete French edition of Dorothy Richardson's sprawling autobiographical novel « Pèlerinage », starting with a first volume out October 16.
Dorothy Richardson, described by Livres Hebdo as one of literary history's great overlooked figures, is the author of « Pèlerinage », a vast autobiographical novel-river. Les éditions du Chemin de fer are undertaking its complete translation into French, a project that begins with this first volume.
That volume, titled « Pèlerinage, vol. 1. Toits pointus suivi d'Eau morte », gathers two of the work's component novels under one cover. It is due in bookshops on October 16, according to Livres Hebdo.
No further detail on the translator, the eventual number of volumes, or the scope of the undertaking has been given in the source announcement.
