Introduction
Watch this film, in which Professor Simon Bainbridge introduces the key issues we’ll be covering in this final week of the course.
We’ll be particularly focusing on the Wordsworths’ decision to come and live in Grasmere and at Dove Cottage in 1799, making it their home. We’ll also turn our attention from William to look more closely at his sister, Dorothy Wordsworth, not just as his companion but as a writer in her own right.
If you’ve noticed that there are a large number of steps this week – don’t worry as some of them are very short!
We hope you will enjoy learning about the Wordsworths’ life in Grasmere.
Hopefully you will have a better understanding of the new tagging feature in this course now. In this week try to re-use tags which relate to something interesting or emergent, to help others focus on relevant themes – #sociallearning #commentdiscovery #cooperativelearning
