Summary
The literary myth surrounding Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey is such that we are used to viewing the Lake District solely through their eyes. This book explores letters and journals by the women who surrounded the writers, finding a very real difference to the rustic idyll they portrayed.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey have become such a literary myth that we are used to looking at the Lake District solely through their eyes. But the story for the women who loved and surrounded them - Dorothy and Mary Wordsworth, Sarah Coleridge and their daughters - was very different. Based on necessity, the extended family-type group they formed was a far cry from the harmonious rustic idyll illustrated by their male counterparts. Kathleen Jones looks at their letters and journals in this illuminating account of their lives - the passionate attachments and jealousies, unwanted pregnancies and children's death, drug addiction and barbaric medical practices.
