The journals Dorothy kept at Alfoxden in 1798 and, later, in Grasmere "to please William" are more than a valuable record of their day to day life; an intense and minute observation of nature together with a genuine poetic imagination in prose poetry, a delight in its own right. Her vision and influence can be seen clearly in many of her brother's poems and these are printed in an appendix to the book.

Dorothy Wordsworth began this journal in May 1800 when her brothers set off from Grasmere to go to Yorkshire for three weeks. She resolved to keep it for the time they were away and she continued it for nearly three years after their return until January 1803. These journals are a valuable record of the day to day life of William Wordworth's family and several poems by William Wordsworth are included in this recording.

Dorothy Wordsworth (1771-1855) published nothing during her lifetime, save the short extracts from her journals and letters which her brother included in his Guide to the Lakes. Dorothy spent most of her life caring for her brother, William, and his family, working, travelling and studying with him and his friends who included de Quincey, Coleridge and Southey. This selection presents Dorothy Wordsworth's writing as a discrete text, giving her a separate authorial voice from that of her brother, bringing her to a new generation of students, scholars and enthusiasts.
