The Wordsworth Trust's Jerwood Centre

An introduction to the Jerwood Centre, the archive of the Wordsworth Trust, which holds 90% of William Wordsworth’s manuscripts.

Watch this video, which introduces the Jerwood Centre, the archive of the Wordsworth Trust, which holds ninety percent of William Wordsworth’s manuscripts.

We will be visiting the Jerwood Centre on each week of the course.

In this video, Professor Simon Bainbridge talks to the curator of the Wordsworth Trust, Jeff Cowton MBE. Jeff will join us throughout the course to show us the treasures of the Wordsworth Trust’s collection and to help us understand how Wordsworth wrote his poetry.

As you watch this video, you may like to take notes – the next step after this one will be a quiz on what we have covered so far.
