Editorial Reviews

Product Description

On an extraordinary 663-mile journey through the Scottish Lowlands and southwestern Highlands in the late summer and early autumn of 1803, Dorothy Wordsworth kept a journal. Traveling with her brother William and, for a short time, Samuel Coleridge, she recorded with warmth and wit the adventures, sights, and unspoiled romantic landscape of their trip. Her engaging journal, unavailable for many years, returns to print in this beautiful volume that provides remarkable black-and-white photographs of the Scottish scenes described. Carol Kyros Walker has captured the essence of these places in a photographic essay that follows each week of Wordsworth`s journal entries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scots and their land of 1803 are warmly and frankly told of., January 8, 1999
By A Customer
Dorothy Wordsworth takes you inside Scottish homes and public houses as if you were there. The first edition was published 125 years ago. The 1997 photographs, notes and introduction by Carol Kyros Walker greatly enhance the original work for a modern reader, especially one like me who has never been to Scotland. Having only one letter from my Scottish ancestors of the period, but remembering the relatives of my childhood, I can vividly imagine their forbears' ways and lives before they left Scotland in the early 1800's. The author combines a keen eye with honesty and frankness. She has much affection for the Scots.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Little Lady Who Started It All, January 21, 2006
Before the diaries and journals of Sylvia Plath, May Sarton, Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, Alice James and others - there was the genius sister (of poet William Wordsworth), Ms. Dorothy Wordsworth. In her time especially (the 18th century to early 19th century), women were not taken seriously as would-be authors, poets, scholars or little else. The diary and belle lettres were their only outlet for such gifts. Dorothy was no stranger to sex discrimination so she hunkered down to record in the most gorgeous prose-poetry you have possibly ever read - her life and times travelling about Scotland and Europe as a lady of wealth, style and panache with her brother William and a few very famous companions I can't give away here. If you can afford it, purchase this book and her other two diaries-"The Grasmere Journals" and "The Continental Journals." They are all page-turners.
