Description
'Dove Cottage: The Wordsworths at Grasmere 1799–1803' presents Dorothy Wordsworth’s famous journal of the years when she lived with her brother William Wordsworth at Dove Cottage in the Lake District. Her observations record the brothers’ daily life, walks, visitors, domestic routines and the changing landscape around Grasmere, while also offering an intimate picture of the Wordsworth circle during a formative period of William’s poetic career. Dorothy’s vivid descriptions of nature and ordinary events reveal the close attention to landscape and seasonal change that characterised her writing. This Folio Society edition, published in 1966, provides a beautifully presented introduction to one of the most important firsthand records of the Wordsworths’ life at Grasmere.
