For readers of Michael Cunningham's The Hours and Madeline Miller's Song of Achilles, this genrebending exploration of the tragic figure of Branwell Bronte and the dismal, dazzling landscape that inspired his sisters to greatness is now available in a new edition with an introduction by Darcey Steinke.Branwell Brontebrother of Charlotte, Emily, and Annehas a childhood marked by tragedy and the weight of expectations. After the early deaths of his mother and a beloved older sister, he is kept away from school and tutored at home by his father, a curate, who rests all his ambitions for his children on his only son. Branwell grows up isolated in his familys parsonage on the moors, learning Latin and Greek, being trained in painting, and collaborating on endless stories and poems with his sisters. Yet while his sisters go on to write Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Agnes Grey, Branwell wanders from job to job, growing increasingly dependent on alcohol and opium and failing to become a great poet or artist.With rich, suggestive sentences perfectly fitted to this famously imaginative, headstrong family (Publishers Weekly), Branwell is a portrait of childhood dreams, thwarted desire, the confinements of genderand an homage to the landscape and milieu that inspired some of the most revolutionary works of English literature.
