Publisher's Summary

Experience the enchantment of 18th-century English countryside through the mesmerizing voice of Jenny Agutter in "The Journals of Dorothy Wordsworth." Jenny Agutter skilfully breathes life into Dorothy's words and will transport you to a bygone era

Dorothy Wordsworth, born in 1771, shares an inseparable bond with her brother, William. After a period of separation following their mother's passing in 1778, they reunite in the Lake District in 1794, embarking on two idyllic months of exploration near Keswick before making Grasmere their home in 1799.

Dorothy's journals are windows to a world of vivid observations, capturing both the beauty of nature and the trials of local life. Her brother, William, credited her with shaping his poetry, saying she gifted him eyes and ears to perceive the profound beauty of the world around him.

Join us on a journey through the Wordsworths' life, from their quaint Dove Cottage dwelling to their later years at Rydal Mount. Don't miss this immersive audiobook – a delightful voyage through history and the heart of the Lake District.

Also available as part of the CLASSIC LETTERS & JOURNALS BOX SET, a sixteen hour, seven-volume edition featuring the letters and journals of Lord Nelson, Charlotte Brontë, Scott of the Antarctic, Queen Victoria, Lord Byron, Jane Austen and Dorothy Wordsworth. Performed by Charles Dance, Imogen Stubbs, Edward Fox, Virginia McKenna, Robert Powell, Fiona Shaw and Jenny Agutter.

Critic Reviews

“The English countryside at the end of the 18th century is brought almost photographically before us and Jenny Agutter brings her splendidly to life.” (Good Book Guide)

“...Her prose and obvious love of nature rival her brother’s poetic interpretations...should appeal to poetry and nature lovers alike.” (Talking Business)
