Professor Scott McCracken, Research Institute for the Humanities, has received a British Academy Small Research Grant to fund a Research Assistant to work with him on the Collected Letters of the influential modernist writer Dorothy Richardson.

In the 1920s, Richardson was often compared with James Joyce and Marcel Proust as one of the first writers of 'stream of consciousness'. Recently, there has been renewed interest in her work as a writer, a pioneering feminist, and an early film critic.

The Collected Letters will make available her correspondence with other key figures of the time such as H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, and the poet Hilda Doolittle.
