Dorothy Wordsworths Schriften, bestehend aus Briefen, Tagebucheinträgen und Kurzgeschichten, offenbaren scharfe Beobachtungsgabe und eine sensible Auseinandersetzung mit dem Leben. Obwohl oft mit dem Werk ihres Bruders William verknüpft, bietet ihre Prosa einen eigenständigen literarischen Beitrag. Ihr tiefgreifender intellektueller Einfluss wurde als entscheidend für die Entwicklung der poetischen Schaffenskraft ihres Bruders anerkannt. Wordsworths Vermächtnis liegt in der authentischen Erfassung der Welt und ihrem stillen, doch bedeutenden Einfluss auf die literarische Landschaft ihrer Zeit.
