Explore the treasures of the Wordsworth Trust’s collection.
Explore the treasures of the Wordsworth Trust’s collection with Jeff Cowton, Principal Curator, and Michael McGregor, Robert Woof Director.
The Wordsworth Trust cares for a Designated collection of over 68,000 manuscripts, books, personal belongings and artworks relating to the Romantic era, with the Wordsworth family manuscripts at its heart. All of these treasures carry stories with them, from the tales behind their creation to the ways that they touch the lives of people today.
Jeff and Michael will share some of their favourite items from our incredible collection and the stories that come with them. These items will include Manuscript D of The Prelude, a fascinating early version of the work – but we’ll keep the rest a surprise! Join us for this uplifting webinar and see our collection close-up on screen as we close the year with this treasury of tales.
