This is Dorothy Wordsworth’s story, told in her own words from original manuscripts in celebration of her 250th birthday.
Dorothy Wordsworth was more than William’s sister. She was a writer, friend, collaborator, aunt, pioneering walker, local philanthropist, inspiring gardener, and – perhaps most famously – author of the Grasmere Journal.
She was an extraordinary yet relatable woman: a writer, sister, and friend whose work and life remains relevant today.
