Sexuality and Subjectivity in Dorothy Richardson’s Pilgrimage

Physical spaces in Pilgrimage, according to Elizabeth Bronfen, facilitate the transaction between body, memory, and environment in three ways. Spaces can be fairly neutral, allowing for mobility in thought and action. Spaces can serve more specifically as zones of liminality, accommodating the transition of one mode of being to the next. And spaces can be particularly privileged, in Richardson’s imagining, as places where memories can be evoked and recounted.
