A Passionate Sisterhood

Meer over het boek

The narrative explores the often-overlooked lives of the women connected to the Lake Poets, revealing a stark contrast to the romanticized image of the Lake District. While the poets enjoyed literary fame, their sisters, wives, and daughters formed a resilient community that endured personal struggles and rivalries. Dorothy Wordsworth's intense bond with her brother William created tension with his wife Mary, while Sarah Coleridge faced abandonment and hardship. This account highlights the complexities of their relationships and the challenges they faced in a male-dominated literary world.
