Book Discussion: "Pointed Roofs"

by Dorothy Richardson

The “Shakespeare and Company Project” conducts a discussion of the first book of Richardson's 13-volume "Pilgrimage" series.

The discussion is part of a series of explorations of titles frequently borrowed from Shakespeare and Company in Paris. Shakespeare and Company, an English-language bookshop and lending library in Paris, was opened by American Sylvia Beach in 1919. The shop became the home away from home for a community of expatriate writers and artists now known as the Lost Generation. 

The book is freely accessible here. 

The series concludes with a discussion of "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce on Jan. 4.

Presented in partnership with Princeton University's "Shakespeare and Company Project."

Made possible, in part, by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
