Dorothy Wordsworth: The Story of a Sister's Love by Edmund Lee is a biography of the life of Dorothy Wordsworth, the sister of the famous poet William Wordsworth. The book explores the close relationship between the siblings and how Dorothy's influence on her brother's work has been largely overlooked by literary scholars. Lee delves into Dorothy's own literary talents and her contributions to William's poetry, as well as her own writings and journals. The book also covers the challenges that Dorothy faced in her life, including poverty, illness, and the societal limitations placed on women in the 19th century. Through extensive research and analysis, Lee provides a comprehensive and intimate portrait of a remarkable woman and her enduring impact on literature.1894.
