The Ballad Of Dorothy Wordsworth by Frances Wilson
A revisionist literary biography that rescues Dorothy Wordsworth from the shadow of her famous brother by following her life through her journals, walks in the Lake District, friendships with figures like Coleridge, and the domestic and emotional struggles that shaped her work; blending archival sleuthing, close readings of her observational prose and an account of the gendered literary culture that muted her voice, the book argues that Dorothy was a perceptive, imaginative writer and chronicler whose contributions and inner life have been unjustly overlooked by history.
