Home at Grasmere: The Journal of Dorothy Wordsworth and the Poems of William Wordsworth by Dorothy & William Wordsworth
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.8MB
Overview: A continuous text made up of extracts from Dorothy Wordsworth’s Journal and a selection of her brother’s poems. Dorothy Wordsworth kept her Journal ‘because I shall give William pleasure by it’. In doing so, she never dreamt that she was giving future readers not only the chance to enjoy her fresh and sensitive delight in the beauties that surrounded her at Grasmere but also a rare opportunity to observe ‘the progress of a poet’s mind’. Colette Clark’s skilful and perceptive arrangement of Dorothy’s entries alongside William’s poems throws a unique light on his creative process, and shows how the interdependence of brother and sister was a vital part in the writing of many of his great poems. By reading these poems in relation to the Journal it is possible to trace the processes by which they were committed to paper and so achieve a fuller understanding of them.
