There is an eminence of these our hills : fair copy of the poem in the hand of Dorothy Wordsworth, undated [1799-1815?].

Dating: Poem was composed at Grasmere, possibly during the last few days of 1799 or the first month of 1800, but certainly by December 18, 1800. Additionally, Butler and Green note that "it is impossible to know whether or not [MA 101.1] precedes the printer's copy and [Lyrical Ballads (1800)], but there may have been little need to make such full copies once [Lyrical Ballads (1800)] appeared; in any case the text in [MA 101.1] does not reflect the verbal revisions ... adopted in the 1815 edition."--cf. Butler and Green, p. xxxix and 247n.
Part of a collection of 15 letters and manuscripts of William Wordsworth. Items in the collection have been described individually; see collection-level record for MA 101 for more information.
