✦ Synopsis

Although it was commonly thought that Wordsworth drew his inspiration from solitude, it is now recognised that he and sister Dorothy were major influences on each other's writing. The two were inseparable for a large part of William's creative years. This book provides the reader with extracts from the most important works of both William and Dorothy, and there is only one other book that has ever offered this. (Penguin 1978). One does not need to be in the Lake District to appreciate the genius of both writers, however the selection has been made with lovers of nature, and in particular mountains, in mind.
