Digital Wordsworth

摘要

This website is the product of collaboration between the English and Creative Writing Department of Lancaster University and The Wordsworth Trust. Using Cornell University Press texts, the website focuses on two Wordsworth works in particular: Home at Grasmere and the manuscript for Prelude. The creators state that their reasoning for choosing these two texts in particular is because both are "significant early Wordsworthian texts directly connected to a particular place" and both are "connected with each other and relate to a key period of Wordsworth's life" (i.e. December 1798-December 1799). The goal of the site is to document and foster understanding of the creative process and to illustrate the importance of place in the writing of poetry. It is also meant to be a "pilot" project that others can use as a basis to develop similar, more substantial projects.
