  • Dove Cottage is a house on the edge of Grasmere in the Lake District of England. It is best known as the home of the poet William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy Wordsworth from December 1799 to May 1808, where they spent over eight years of "plain living, but high thinking". During this period, William wrote much of the poetry for which he is remembered today, including his "Ode: Intimations of Immortality", "Ode to Duty", "My Heart Leaps Up" and "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud", together with parts of his autobiographical epic, The Prelude. William Wordsworth married his wife Mary in 1802, and she and her sister joined the Wordsworths at Dove Cottage. The family quickly expanded, with the arrival of three children in four years, and the Wordsworths left Dove Cottage in 1808 to seek larger lodgings. The cottage was then occupied by Thomas De Quincey for a number of years, before being let to a succession of tenants. The cottage was acquired by the Wordsworth Trust in 1890 and opened to the public as a writer's home museum in 1891. The house is a Grade I listed building, and remains largely unchanged from Wordsworth's day. The site also includes Jerwood Centre containing manuscripts, books and art work as well as a museum that opened in 1981. (en)
  • Dove Cottage est une maison en bordure de Grasmere dans le Lake District en Angleterre. Il est surtout connu comme la maison du poète William Wordsworth et de sa sœur Dorothy Wordsworth de décembre 1799 à mai 1808, où ils passent plus de huit ans à « vivre simplement, mais à réfléchir ». Au cours de cette période, William écrit une grande partie de la poésie pour laquelle on se souvient de lui aujourd'hui, notamment son ode « Intimations of Immortality », « Ode to Duty », « My Heart Leaps Up » et « I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud », et des parties de son épopée autobiographique, Le Prélude. William Wordsworth épouse Mary Hutchinson en 1802, et sa sœur et elle rejoignent les Wordsworth à Dove Cottage. La famille s'agrandit rapidement, avec l'arrivée de trois enfants en quatre ans, et les Wordsworth quittent Dove Cottage en 1808 pour chercher un logement plus grand. Le cottage est ensuite occupé par différents locataires, notamment Thomas de Quincey pendant plusieurs années. le Wordsworth Trust acquiert le cottage en 1890 et l'ouvre au public en tant que musée-maison de l'écrivain en 1891. La maison est un bâtiment classé Grade I et reste en grande partie inchangée depuis l'époque des Wordsworth. Le musée accueille environ 70 000 visiteurs par an. (fr)
  • Dove Cottage è una casa ai confini di Grasmere nel Lake District inglese. È molto nota perché fu la casa dove il poeta William Wordsworth e sua sorella Dorothy trascorsero nove anni (dal dicembre 1799 al maggio 1808) di "vita semplice, ma colma di importanti riflessioni". Durante questo periodo, Wordsworth scrisse molte delle poesie per le quali è ricordato tutt'oggi, tra cui , , e I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, insieme a parti del suo poema autobiografico, . Il poeta si sposò nel 1802 e sua moglie Mary venne a vivere con la cognata al Dove Cottage. La famiglia si espanse in fretta, con l'arrivo di tre bambini in quattro anni, e i Wordsworth lasciarono il Dove Cottage nel 1808 per trasferirsi in una casa più ampia. Il cottage divenne quindi l'abitazione di Thomas de Quincey per un certo numero di anni, prima di essere occupato da altri inquilini. Nel 1890 fu acquistato dalla e aperto al pubblico nel 1891. La casa è un monumento classificato ed è rimasta sostanzialmente la stessa dai tempi di Wordsworth. Ogni anno accoglie 70.000 visitatori. (it)
  • Dove Cottage is de naam van een huis in het Engelse Lake District gelegen dorp Grasmere. Het huis ontleent zijn bekendheid aan het feit dat het tussen december 1799 en mei 1808 werd bewoond door de dichter William Wordsworth en zijn zuster Dorothy Wordsworth. William trouwde zijn vrouw Mary in 1802 en zij en haar zuster woonden vanaf dat jaar ook in het huis. William en Mary kregen in vier jaar tijd drie kinderen, waardoor het huis op den duur te klein werd en de familie in 1808 verhuisde naar een ruimere woning. Tijdens zijn periode in Dove Cottage schreef Wordsworth een aantal van zijn bekendere werken, mede geïnspireerd door zijn zuster Dorothy en hun gezamenlijke vriend Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Na hun verhuizing werd het huis enige tijd bewoond door de schrijver Thomas de Quincey. In 1890 werd het uit de vroege 17e eeuw stammende huis verworven door de Wordsworth Trust en het jaar daarop werd het opengesteld voor het publiek. (nl)
