Wordsworth, Dorothy (1771–1855), was the sister of William
Wordsworth. She settled with William in 1795, and from that time they lived together, through William's marriage until his death. After a short time in Dorset they moved to Alfoxden in Somerset, where she, William, and
Coleridge walked and talked, as Coleridge wrote, ‘as three persons with one soul’. There she began her
Alfoxden Journal, of which only the months Jan.–Apr. 1798 remain. Her
Grasmere Journal, covering the years 1800–3, demonstrates her skill with words in the precise descriptions of the Lake District and of the daily events of life in Dove Cottage.
Dorothy kept several other journals of travels and expeditions including
Journal of a Tour on the Continent 1820; Journal of a Second Tour of Scotland (1822); and a
Journal of a Tour in the Isle of Man (1828).
It is clear from passages in his notes and from certain of his poems (for instance, the untitled ‘Daffodils’) that Wordsworth made use of his sister's journals, and several of his poems, as well as the famous closing lines of ‘
Tintern Abbey’, are addressed to Dorothy. In his Life (1933) her editor Ernest de Selincourt finds her ‘probably…the most distinguished of English writers who never wrote a line for the general public’. Her
Journals were edited by W. Knight, 1896 and 1904.
