Doro

Must be about a thousand times more talented than her all too well remembered brother She wrote a travel memoir that is so perfectly in the Picturesque style that it’s the definition of the genre.

I recently found this sweet little Oxford University Press 1958 edition of some of her journals. It includes the Grasmere Journals. It’s pocket! And has “Purchased at Wordsworth’s Cottage Grasmere” stamped on the flyleaf.

Ah, Doro’s slanting woods of an unvarying brown and the half dead sound of the near sheep-bell.
