Excerpt from DeadlockThe publication of "Deadlock" brings the career of a most arresting and significant novelist to the,point at which it becomes possible, if not imperative, to add something to what Mr. J. D. Beresford wrote, some six years ago, in his wholly admirable Foreword to "Pointed Roofs." That career, here defined by another milestone, has proceeded thus far, through considerable stages of growth, to be sure, but without essential change of direction. It has also become - what, for all I know, Miss Richardson herself might humorously deprecate the notion of its being - a substantial Force.Somehow, I cannot imagine this writer as attaching much importance to the concept of herself as a contemporary and future influence. She is all for thinking with one's nerves: for seizing, with sensitive delicacy of intuition, the immediate quintessence of things as they are in themselves - not the ultimate effect of things as they arc in their implications. She once made her recurring character, Miriam Henderson - a being whom I choose, without argument, to identify with certain past phases of the novelist's own consciousness - deliver several pages of really fruitful speculation on the ultimate function of the novel.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Deadlock By Steven Davis In the previous novels of Richardson's autobiographical series her protagonist, Miriam Henderson, has been largely concerned with establishing her own identity as a single and independent woman in a world where this was still a novelty for a woman of her age and class. She develops curious blends of nationalism and cosmopolitanism, Christianity and agnosticism, science and spirituality. The one area where her attitudes are unmixed is her resentful and largely homegrown feminism.At age twenty-five, Miriam now has her first serious relationship with a man. He is a Russian Jew named Michael Shatov. Every attribute of his being seems destined to expose and inflame Miriam's inner contradictions while being irresistibly appealing to her both intellectually and sexually.Miriam hungers for foreign culture and contact with foreigners, yet she can't help wanting to prove Englishness superior to all foreign values. "London is heaven and can't be explained. To be sent away is to be sent out of heaven." Yet Shatov exposes her to ideas and feelings that she simply can't find in her English experience.Race and religion are intertwined in Miriam's mind, as they were in general at that time. Shatov's Jewishness is more alien to her than his Russianness or his masculinity. Underneath her facade of intellectual curiosity and open-mindedness she finds a core of bigotry. Rather than directly face and challenge her values, Miriam looks for an escape. She projects her internal conflict as resentment against the one who exposes it. One moment she is craving Shatov's companionship, the next moment she is unable to stand the sight of him. She takes a smug pride in her association with someone so exotic, yet she is embarrassed to be seen in public with him.Sexually Miriam is prepared from the beginning to resent Shatov and distance herself from him simply because he is a man. But here again he disarms her by declaring himself a feminist (a word she had never heard before), by agreeing with her on most gender issues, and by being almost effeminate himself. Yet here he exposes a conflict she would not have anticipated: intellectually she adores his androgynous makeup, but sexually she is repulsed by it. She wants him to be more of a man to her, even though she would hate him for it. Sexual feelings she has never experienced before come suddenly up against the feminism that she has considered unshakable.So this is the multi-dimensional deadlock in which Miriam Henderson finds herself. It is a condition strongly representative of her time--perhaps most times--perhaps in the development of most thinking individuals--when abstract thought runs afoul of traditional cultural values and the desires of the body defy those of the mind.
