The essential issue in the Wordsworths' relationship
is not whether William's "borrowing" from Dorothy's
journal constituted tribute or exploitation, but how
the relationship influenced Dorothy's inability to
(5) conceive of herself as a writer. Dorothy's journal
entries, so unselfconscious as to omit the first
person pronoun altogether, seemed to her not to be
literature at all. Yet they were seamlessly
incorporated into William's most famous poems,
(10) altered only by the introduction of the "I."
In mainstream literary tradition, the authorial
self, the "I," is masculine. The dominated
other-Nature, Desire, or Woman herself-is feminine.
For Wordsworth, the female other is Nature, often
(15) personified as his sister Dorothy. Though this
characterization helped to validate and sustain the
unusually intense relationship the two had in real
life, it reinforced on a personal level Dorothy's
acceptance of the social and literary tradition
(20) which defined her as other. Her access to authorial
subjectivity was blocked not just by her femaleness,
but by her cherished central role in her brother's
life and poetry.
