Tonight, we\u2019ll read another excerpt from Dorothy Wordsworth\u2019s personal journal, which she kept the year 1802. 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.\n\nThis particular journal was from a period that the siblings were staying in the village of Grasmere, England. The Wordsworths, part of the 'Lake Poets' group known for living near Grasmere lake, lived in Grasmere for 14 years and called it "the loveliest spot that man hath ever found."\n\nAnother of the \u201cLake Poets\u201d is mentioned frequently in this journal- their friend the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.\n\nIf you enjoy this episode, please check out the \u201cWinter\u201d and \u201cSpring\u201d journal episodes that aired recently, 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.
