Corkran, Alice. The Romance of Woman’s Influence: St. Monica, Vittoria Colonna, Madame Guyon, Caroline Herschel, Mary Unwin, Dorothy Wordsworth and Other Mothers, Wives, Sisters, and Friends who Have Helped Great Men. London: Blackie and Sons, 1906.
See pp. 185–214. “To speak of Dorothy Wordsworth is to speak of a poet in prose as remarkable as William Wordsworth was a poet in verse. But it is not of Dorothy, the writer of the journal, from which many a painter might paint scenes of surpassing beauty, from which many a poet might have derived inspiration,—it is not so much of this Dorothy that I shall speak, as of Dorothy, the sister, the inspirer of her brother, his friend and companion” ( p. 185).
