Excerpt from Wordsworth's French Daughter: The Story of Her Birth, With the Certificates of Her Baptism and Marriage
Under date of October 14, 1814, Dorothy writes to her: "I cannot help very much regretting that you forgot to tell me where to address you while you were there, as I should have been exceedingly glad that you had seen the young woman whom I mentioned to you, the more so as a treaty of marriage is now on foot between her and the Brother of the officer Beaudouin whom I mentioned to you as having been at Rydale, and she and her Mother are extremely anxious that I should be present at the wedding, and for that purpose pressed me very much to go in October.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an intriguing historical account of a little-known chapter in the life of William Wordsworth, one of England's most renowned Romantic poets. It unravels the mystery surrounding his secret affair in France during the tumultuous period of the French Revolution. Through extensive research and analysis of previously unpublished letters and documents, the author reveals the story of Annette Vallon, a French woman with whom Wordsworth had a daughter, Caroline. Despite the obstacles posed by societal norms and the ongoing war between England and France, Wordsworth maintained a connection with Annette and Caroline, even going so far as to publicly acknowledge his daughter's existence and provide for her well-being. The book explores the complexities of Wordsworth's character, his struggle to reconcile his personal life with his public image, and the profound impact this secret had on his poetry. It delves into the themes of love, duty, and family, shedding light on the often-contradictory nature of human relationships. Ultimately, this captivating account illuminates Wordsworth's journey as a man and an artist, offering a fresh perspective on his life and work.
