Dorothy Wordsworth

Dorothy’s fascination with nature is also presented through a Romantic lens, which makes it far wilder and more bohemian than it might appear to a modern eye. Against this background she comes over as a dangerous, unstable, even transgressive figure—a woman on the edge in many senses. --The Economist, Woman on the edge, April 8, 2009, review of The Ballad of Dorothy Wordsworth: A Life, by Frances Wilson
