To protect some of the family's more delicate books, Southey's daughters
bound volumes in cotton using old dresses and spare material. These books made up Southey's 'cottonian library', and some of them reside in our very own library today. #TuesdayTreasures
The Jerwood Centre, our state-of-the-art library and archive next door to Dove Cottage, is home to over 90% of William Wordsworth's original verse manuscripts, Dorothy Wordsworth's Grasmere journal, and many more letters and journals written by the family. On the shelves of our Reading Room, you will find rare editions by not only Wordsworth, but also his contemporaries: Byron, Coleridge, Keats, Mary Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft to name a few.
Our art collection of the Lake District includes over 9,000 items, and features works by major artists such as John Constable and J.M.W. Turner.
