**The Ballad of Dorothy Wordsworth, A Life**
This is a brand new 316 page hardcover written by Frances Wilson!
"Described by the writer and opium addict Thomas De Quincey as "the very wildest...person I have ever known," Dorthy Wordsworth was neither the self-effacing spinster nor the sacrificial saint of common telling. A brilliant stylist in her own right, Dorothy was at the center of the Romantic movement of the early nineteenth century. She was her brother William Wordsworth's inspiration, aide, and most valued reader, and a friend to Coleridge; both borrowed from her observations of the world for their own poems. William wrote of her, "She gave me eyes, she gave me ears."
This is a great biography of a writer and female of the 19th century!
