Frances Wilson - The Ballad of Dorothy Wordsworth

[britpete]

Wow, I love the poetry of Wordsworth, and I have the "Grassmere Journals" on tape, they really do give an insight into life in those times.

She obviously adored her brother, and she was very emotional on his wedding day, in fact she could not bring herself to go to the church.

But, you said that Wordsworth was "wild" I have to say, I have not recognised that in him, although Coleridge was a little...well...odd!

Maybe you can explain a little more about his wildness?

@britpete Perhaps 'wild' as compared to the typical women of the time?
