ABOUT THE BOOK:- This volume contains all of Patrick Branwell Bronte’s known writing. This edition serves as a record for the growth and development of Branwells writing, and it is hoped that it will help to dispel some of the myths and misconceptions that have become associated with Branwell’s name. The feeling might have remained pity, and nothing more, had it not been at length roused to something warmer by finding such a torrent of unmitigated abuse of Charlottes despised brother in all the Bronte literature. Both present and past, as made one suspect there must be some source of irritation against him not immediately manifest to the general public. This book will be of interest to students of English Literature.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- Patrick Branwell Bronte (1817-1848) was an English painter and writer. He was the only son of Bronte family, and brother of the writers Charlotte, Emily and Anne. Bronte was rigorously tutored at home by his father, and shared much of his sisters’ creative talent, earning praise for his poetry and translation from the classics. But he drifted between jobs, supporting himself by portrait-painting and gave way to drug and alcohol addiction, apparently worsened by a failed relationship with a married woman, leading to his early death.
