| ...an analysis of the intimate relationship between the brother and sister William (1770-1850) and dorothy Wordsworth (1771-1855) within the context of language partices, social patterns, and debates as well as demographic and family structures among the english middle class of the time. the text opens with a discussion of the concept of incest and its aim is to stress that incest is an inappropriate term for the sibling relationship of the nineteenth century. However, a special term is needed because of their unique nature consisting of passion and friendhsip. It is irrelevant if these brother-sister relationships included a physical aspect or not, because the core conssited of the emotional strength, which was of an intensity that may never be resembled in any other relaitonship - not even in marriage.
