Reseña del editor:

Although it was commonly thought that Wordsworth drew his inspiration from solitude, it is now reckoned that his sister Dorothy was a major influence on his writing. The two were inseparable for a large part of William s creative years. This book provides the reader with extracts from the most important works of both William and Dorothy, and there is only one other book that has ever offered this. (Penguin 1978). One does not need to be in the Lake District to appreciate the genius of both writers, however the selection has been made with lovers of nature and in particular mountains, in mind. The book contains many of William's most well known poems such as Lines Composed,A Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, To a Skylark, and there are over 70 poems in this collection as well as a prose piece by William 'Description of the Scenery of the Lakes'. The book juxtaposes these poems with extracts from Dorothy Wordsworth's Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland, A.D. 1803
