Oakley, Sandra Sue. “An Evaluation of the Writings of Dorothy Wordsworth.” M.S. thesis, Eastern Illinois University, 1964.
“William Wordsworth was not a self-made poet, drawing all his literary genius from his own imagination and sensory resources. Biographers and critics have agreed that his sister, Dorothy, played a major role in his poetic achievements. The success of this great literary figure tells the story of a younger sister who consecrated her entire life to the greatest good of her brother, sacrificing for herself everything outside him and his existence.”
