Dorothy Wordsworth

II
From
the
Journal
of
the
days
spent
at
Hamburg
in
1798--when
the
Wordsworths
were
on
their
way
to
Goslar,
and
Coleridge
to
Ratzeburg--only
a
few
extracts
are
given,
dating
from
14th
September
to
3rd
October
of
that
year.
These
explain
themselves.
III-VI
Of
the
Grasmere
Journals
much
more
is
given,
and
a
great
deal
that
was
omitted
from
the
first
volume
of
the
Life
of
Wordsworth
in
1889,
is
now
printed.
To
many
readers
this
will
be
by
far
the
most
interesting
section
of
all
Dorothy
Wordsworth's
writings.
It
not
only
contains
exquisite
descriptions
of
Grasmere
and
its
district--a
most
felicitous
record
of
the
changes
of
the
seasons
and
the
progress
of
the
year,
details
as
to
flower
and
tree,
bird
and
beast,
mountain
and
lake--but
it
casts
a
flood
of
light
on
the
circumstances
under
which
her
brother's
poems
were
composed.
It
also
discloses
much
as
to
the
doings
of
the
Wordsworth
household,
of
the
visits
of
Coleridge
and
others,
while
it
vividly
illustrates
the
peasant
life
of
Westmoreland
at
the
beginning
of
this
century.
What
I
have
seen
of
this
Journal
extends
from
14th
May
to
21st
December
1800,
and
from
10th
October
1801
to
16th
January
1803.
It
is
here
printed
in
four
sections.
