Omschrijving
This beautiful, richly illustrated guidebook reveals how Dove Cottage has been brought restored to evoke the Wordsworths' lives over 200 years ago.
'Here should be my home, this Valley be my World' wrote the great Romantic poet William Wordsworth.
Born in 1770 in the English Lake District, William Wordsworth settled in Dove Cottage, Grasmere, with his sister Dorothy in 1799. Drawing on excerpts from the Wordsworths' poems, journals and letters, this engaging book recreates their life at Dove Cottage. In this time of 'plain living and high thinking', the everyday mixed with the extraordinary. It was whilst living here, amongst the hustle and bustle of daily life, that Wordsworth wrote many of his greatest poems and his sister Dorothy kept her fascinating Grasmere journal.
