Dora Wordsworth
About
Dorothy "Dora" Wordsworth (16 August 1804 – 9 July 1847) was the only surviving daughter of William Wordsworth (1770-1850), major Romantic poet and British Poet Laureate. Her babyhood inspired Wordsworth to write "Address To My Infant Daughter" in her honour. As an adult, she is further immortalised by him in the 1828 poem "The Triad", along with Edith Southey and Sara Coleridge, daughters of her father's fellow Lake Poets. In 1843, at the age of 39 Dora Wordsworth married Edward Quillinan, against her father's wishes. Throughout her life, she formed intense romantic attachments to both genders, the most significant being her friendship with Maria Jane Jewsbury. Another close friend was Maria Kinnaird, adoptive daughter of Richard "Conversation" Sharp and the future wife of Thomas Drummond. Dora and Maria were friends from their teenage years and some of their correspondence has survived
