Autorenporträt

Dorothy Wordsworth, born on December 25, 1771, in Cockermouth, Cumberland, England, is an esteemed figure in English literature, primarily known for her prodigious work as a diarist and a poet. Sister to the eminent Romantic poet William Wordsworth, she carved her niche with poignant, detailed accounts of nature and day-to-day life. Although overshadowed by her brother's fame, Dorothy's writings, such as her 'Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland A.D. 1803', stand as evocative narratives that offer a distinct perspective of her travels and the natural world. Her literary style, marked by vivid natural descriptions and personal reflections, has been described as imbuing the mundane with a sense of the sublime, a characteristic that threads through her journal entries and letters. Dorothy Wordsworth's works not only influenced her brother's iconic poetry but also contributed significantly to the scholarship on the Romantic era, offering insights into the preoccupations and aesthetics of early 19th-century English literature.
