Invaluable for the insight they give into the daily life of the poet and his friendship with Coleridge, they are also remarkable for their spontaneity and immediacy, and for the vivid descriptions of people, places, and incidents that inspired some of Wordsworth's best-loved poems. \u003cem\u003eThe Grasmere Journal\u003c\/em\u003e was begun at Dove Cottage in May 1800 and kept for three years. Dorothy notes the walks and the weather, the friends, country neighbors and beggars on the roads; she sets down accounts of the garden, of Wordsworth's marriage, their concern for Coleridge, the composition of poetry. The earlier \u003cem\u003eAlfoxden Journal\u003c\/em\u003e was written during 1797-8, when the Wordsworths lived near Coleridge in Somerset. Not intended for publication, but to \"give Wm Pleasure by it,\" both journals have a quality recognized by Wordsworth when he wrote of Dorothy that\u003cbr\u003e\"she gave me eyes, she gave me ears.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003eFor over 100 years \u003cstrong\u003eOxford World's Classics\u003c\/strong\u003e has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
