Pointed Roofs, published in 1915, is the first work in Dorothy Richardson's (1873 – 1957) series of 13 novels titled Pilgrimage, and the first complete stream of consciousness novel published in English. The novelist May Sinclair (1863 – 1946) first applied the term "stream of consciousness" In a review of Pointed Roofs (The Egoist April 1918), Miriam Henderson, the central character in Pilgrimage, is based on author's own life between 1891 and 1915.

In Pointed Roofs seventeen years old Miriam Henderson has her first adventure as an adult teaching

Pointed Roofs is the first book describing the life- and particularly the consciousness- of seventeen year-old Miriam Henderson over the next forty years. It begins the night befor Miriam leaves to teach English at a finishing school in Hanover, Germany. She is the youngest of four daughters, whose father has gone bankrupt; accompannie by him, she decides to leave the family and find work, as opposed to marrying out of it as her sisters do.

Richarson described the individual segments of the work as 'chapters', calling it 'a single chapter of an unfinished whole.'
