Although Dorothy Wordsworth was convinced that her journal entries were not literature, they
were seamlessly incorporated by her brother William into some
of his most famous poems,
altered only by his use
of the first-person pronoun, the "I." The important question concerning
the relationship between Dorothy and William, however, is not whether William's borrowings
constituted exploitation, but rather how the relationship contributed to Dorothy's inability to
conceive of herself as a writer. Traditionally in literature, the authorial self, the "I," is
identifiably masculine. The dominated "other" is feminine. In William's poems, the "other" is
usually Nature, often personified as Dorothy. While these literary roles helped to sustain the
close relationship between the two in real life, they also reinforced Dorothy's acceptance of the
norms, which defined her as "other." Thus, her access to authorial self-consciousness was
blocked not just by the fact of
her gender, but also by her accepted role in her brother's life and
poetry.
