Sister of the more famous William; Dorothy Wordsworth started to write her narrative of Lakeland life to give ‘Wm Pleasure’ and to console herself in his absence.  The 4 little notebooks that have become known as the Grasmere Journal convey the details of the everyday at Dove Cottage which encompasses cows and Coleridge; bowels and botany; porridge and poetry.  There’s a domestic drama of love and loss in the pages too.  This short course will consider Dorothy’s distinctive text and her inspirational powers of observation.
