Heaney, the Wordsworths, and the Wonders of the Everyday

An OUP blog and a Dorothy Wordsworth Manuscript

Heaney, the Wordsworths, and the Wonders of the Everyday

In 2013, soon after the publication of my book William and Dorothy Wordsworth: 'All in Each Other', I wrote a blog for the Oxford University Press website about an exhibition on Dorothy Wordsworth at the Wordsworth Museum, Grasmere. I was given permission by the Wordsworth Trust to provide a transcript of a newly discovered Manuscript by DW, 'Lines addressed to my kind friend & medical attendant, Thomas Carr'.
