Dove Cottage, Grasmere: From 1800 To 1900 is a historical book written by William Angus Knight and published in 1900. The book provides a detailed account of the famous Dove Cottage in Grasmere, England, which was the residence of the famous poet William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy Wordsworth from 1799 to 1808. The book covers the period between 1800 and 1900, documenting the changes that occurred in the cottage and its surroundings over the course of a century.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a particular aspect of the cottage’s history. The first chapter provides an overview of the cottage and its early occupants, including the Wordsworths and their contemporaries. The second chapter focuses on the cottage’s later occupants and the changes that were made to the building over the years. Subsequent chapters cover topics such as the cottage’s gardens and the surrounding landscape, as well as the various visitors who came to Dove Cottage over the years.Throughout the book, Knight provides a wealth of historical detail and context, drawing on a range of primary sources to paint a vivid picture of life at Dove Cottage over the course of a century. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Wordsworths, the Romantic movement, or the cultural history of the Lake District.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
