This article considers the phenomenon of sound in the thirteen-volume novel  Pilgrimage  (1915–1967) of Dorothy Miller Richardson (1873–1957) and explores the role it plays in connecting the protagonist Miriam with the objective world that she journeys through. In  Pilgrimage , as Miriam walks through the world, while actively listening to her surroundings, she also re-imagines and re-focalizes her listening experiences. It is during this process that the boundary between the objective world and the subject, Miriam’s past and present is blurred. Richardson also wrote a filmic column ‘Continuous Performance’ for the magazine  Close Up  (1927–1933). In it, Richardson expressed her abhorrence to sound film and regarded sound introduced into silent film as a distraction. Prompted by Richardson’s ambivalent attitude towards sound film conveyed in her column, this article explores how Richardson deploys sound in  Pilgrimage  along with the kind of effect sound creates in it. In particular, by focusing on three types of sounds – everyday sounds, varieties of silence and music – dominating Miriam’s listening experience, this article examines how sound, fragments and disrupts Miriam’s experience of the world on a surface level, yet assists the intimacy between Miriam and the world as well as between her past and present.
