Aidan Higgins (3 March 1927 – 27 December 2015) was an Irish writer.
 He wrote short stories, travel pieces, radio drama and novels.
 Among his published works are "Langrishe, Go Down" (1966), "Balcony of Europe" (1972) and the biographical "Dog Days" (1998).
 His writing is characterised by non-conventional foreign settings and a stream of consciousness narrative mode.
 Most of his early fiction is autobiographical - "like slug trails, all the fiction happened."
In literary criticism, stream of consciousness is a narrative mode or method that attempts to depict the multitudinous thoughts and feelings which pass through the mind.
 The term was coined by William James in 1890 in his "The Principles of Psychology", and in 1918 the novelist May Sinclair (1863–1946) first applied the term stream of consciousness, in a literary context, when discussing Dorothy Richardson's (1873–1957) novels. "
Pointed Roofs" (1915), the first work in Richardson's series of 13 semi-autobiographical novels titled "Pilgrimage", is the first complete stream of consciousness novel published in English.
 However, in 1934, Richardson comments that "Proust, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf & D.R. ... were all using 'the new method', though very differently, simultaneously".
Gladys Bronwyn Stern or GB Stern (17 June 1890 – 20 September 1973), born Gladys "Bertha" Stern in London, England, wrote many novels, short stories, plays, memoirs, biographies and literary criticism.
Stream of consciousness refers to the flow of thoughts in the conscious mind.
 Research studies have shown that we only experience one mental event at a time as a fast-moving mind stream.
 William James, often considered to be the father of American psychology, first coined the phrase "stream of consciousness".
 The full range of thoughts—that one can be aware of—can form the content of this stream.
The Principles of Psychology is an 1890 book about psychology by William James, an American philosopher and psychologist who trained to be a physician before going into psychology.
 There are four methods from James' book: stream of consciousness (James' most famous psychological metaphor); emotion (later known as the James–Lange theory); habit (human habits are constantly formed to achieve certain results); and will (through James' personal experiences in life).
Hubert Montague Crackanthorpe born (12 May 1870 – c. November 1896) was a Victorian British writer who created works mainly in the genres of the essay, short story, and novella.
 He also wrote limited amounts of literary criticism.
 After dying early and under mysterious circumstances, his name is now little known and has all but vanished from conventional literary biographies of the period.
 Crackanthorpe is usually associated with the literary movement of naturalism.
 His literary legacy consists largely of three volumes of short stories he managed to publish during his lifetime; contemporary opinions of his talent as a writer varied widely, though one of his works was published with an appreciation by none other than Henry James.
Pointed Roofs, published in 1915, is the first work (she called it a "chapter") in Dorothy Richardson's (1873 – 1957) series of 13 semi-autobiographical 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).
Sciousness, a term coined by William James in "The Principles of Psychology", refers to consciousness separate from consciousness of self.
 James wrote:
In literary criticism, stream of unconsciousness is a narrative mode that portrays an individual's point of view by transcribing the author's unconscious dialogue or "somniloquy" during sleep, in connection to his or her actions within a dream.
May Sinclair was the pseudonym of Mary Amelia St. Clair (24 August 1863 – 14 November 1946), a popular British writer who wrote about two dozen novels, short stories and poetry.
 She was an active suffragist, and member of the Woman Writers' Suffrage League.
 May Sinclair was also a significant critic in the area of modernist poetry and prose, and she is attributed with first using the term stream of consciousness in a literary context, when reviewing the first volumes of Dorothy Richardson's novel sequence "Pilgrimage" (1915–67), in "The Egoist", April 1918.
