A Fresh Look at Patrick Branwell Brontë: the Prose

Abstract

Abstract For the very first time, a full edition of Branwell's works enables us to understand the Glasstown epic he and Charlotte started in 1827 when they were children, and were still obsessed by ten years later when they were grown up. Initiating myths and personae central to the Brontë canon, Branwell emerges as a literary prodigy possessed of tremendous energy and visionary power.
