| Novelist, born in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, SC England, UK. In 1895 she moved to London and worked as a teacher, clerk, and dentist's assistant. An affair with H G Wells led to a miscarriage and a near-collapse in 1907. She started her writing career with works on the Quakers and George Fox (1914). Her first novel, Pointed Roofs (1915), was the first of her well-known 12-volume sequence entitled Pilgrimage, culminating with Clear Horizon (1935) and Dimple Hill (1938). She was the first exponent of the ‘stream of consciousness’ style later made famous by Virginia Woolf. |
