I meant to tag @WordsworthGras! As ever, I'm wishing that I lived a little closer so that I could pop over and enjoy the exhibition and the good company.

Here's as good an advertisement as you could wish for the the latest exhibition at Wordsworth Grasmere. Great work by BYU intern Kate: 'Come Forth and Feel the Sun': The Lake District and Tourism https://t.co/AnYYf7qEyc

@JoTayl0r0 @BucknellUPress Dr. Jo, I just finished reading it (finally). No surprise: I learned a ton and enjoyed it thoroughly. Lots of prompts for further inquiry and conversation!

[Paul Westover @EngProfPW]

@JoTayl0r0 @BucknellUPress Just read the excellent first chapter today--eager to press on. You've articulated some of the things I've been striving toward with my experimental maps much better than I've managed to do.

BYU intern Zerin strikes again with "'Who weeps for strangers?': Remembering the Greens of Grasmere" https://t.co/VDWJXtqm0c. Congrats to her and all friends @WordsworthGras for the new virtual exhibition--a fun experiment in expanding access to Wordsworth Trust collections.

[Paul Westover @EngProfPW]

Intern Zerin W. is killing it in Grasmere. As usual, great things are happening @WordsworthGras.

The MLA volume on teaching Austen's *Persuasion* is out this summer. Glad to have my little contribution (on *Persuasion* as wartime novel) in good company. Thanks, Marcia, John, and all.

@DrBibliomane That's a fantastic book. I had to laugh about the ferns. I have some willow leaves (from Twickenham?) whose stories I can no longer remember. Pope's willow is decidedly dead, but maybe I was sentimental while walking along the river?

@ProfTomMole @EleanorMayBaker And we all know that the wizard Michael Scott was buried with a book...

[Paul Westover @EngProfPW]

@WordsworthGras Thanks for letting me join the fun. Good job today, as always. Merry Christmas!

Enjoying an excellent discussion of Lake District tourism history with Saeko Yoshikawa, @CowtonJ, and Simon Bainbridge. #DisparateRomantics #WordsworthGras

@WordsworthGras @DrPennyBradshaw Two years already!

Sometimes working at a museum means that you get to wear a costume and go on an adventure. In 2018 we headed out with a wonderful team to recreate Dorothy Wordsworth's 1818 ascent of Scafell Pike, England's tallest mountain. #MuseumPassion

@CuratorWT @MorganLibrary @WordsworthGras So great to see this go live! We hope it's a taste of good things to come--looking forward to publishing our electronic edition of Dorothy Wordsworth's lakeland writings next year (fingers crossed).

In Nov 1805, D & WW toured Ullswater. D wrote an account of it which, slightly altered, appeared in W's 1823 'Guide'. She also made a copy for her friends, the Beaumonts. See this brilliant new ed @MorganLibrary @EngProfPW @WordsworthGras https://t.co/aXAH0R1PdT

Delighted to announce the revised 2nd of edition of Wordsworth’s Guide to the Lakes, ed. @EngProfPW and @nickmason_ut. Marking the 250th anniversary of WW’s birth, the revisions reveal new insights about the text’s origins, pub. history, and afterlives. https://t.co/rygED1mdmJ

[Paul Westover @EngProfPW]

Happy 15th anniversary to the Jerwood Centre, headquarters for all things Wordsworth (@WordsworthGras). It has been an essential resource for me and my students since my first visit in 2011: #JerwoodGrasmere2005-20.

[Dr Jo Taylor @JoTayl0r0]

Happy birthday! Celebrate Wordsworth's 250th by reading your favourite Wordsworth poem. I'll be going with 'Nuns fret not', as comfort against confinement.

[Paul Westover @EngProfPW]

Hard to believe it's been a year already. The impressions remain vivid. Warm wishes to everyone involved!

[Dr Jo Taylor @JoTayl0r0]

This time last year, I was very cold, very wet, and more intensely involved with a literary work than I have ever been. This is what I always wanted reading to be about, and so lucky to share with these marvellous co-creators
