“Her sense of self is different than William’s but it should not be considered less valid because of this difference. ‘A Winter’s Ramble’ stands as one example of Dorothy’s poetic aptitude. Like the rest of her poems, it should be read as a contribution to the body of discourse that shaped romantic ideals by testing their limitations and challenging their constructions.”
