Tonight, we\u2019ll read another excerpt from Dorothy Wordsworth\u2019s personal journal, which she kept the year 1798. It was published a century later in 1897.\n\nWordsworth was an English author, poet, and diarist. She was the sister of the Romantic poet William Wordsworth, and the two were close all their adult lives.\nModern readers often perceive Dorothy as a first-rank nature writer. In her assumption of humans as companions rather than overlords of nature, she is arguably also an early environmentalist.\n\nIf you enjoy this episode, please check out the \u201cWinter\u201d journal episode that aired last month, and our other episode featuring this author titled \u201cFirst Steps | A Scottish Tour\u201d that we rebroadcast on January of 2023.\n\n\u2014 read by V \u2014\nSign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to\xa0snoozecast.com/plus!\nLearn more about your ad choices.
