Dorothy: Writer, Sister, Friend,
The Wordsworth Trust
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.
