OverviewAs a bold and gifted child, Branwell Bronte's promise seemed boundless to the three adoring sisters over whom his rule was complete. But as an adult, the precocious flame of genius distorted and burned low. With neither the strength nor the resources to counter rejection, unable to sell his paintings or publish his books, Branwell became a spectre in the Bronte story, in pathetic contrast with the astonishing achievements of his sisters. Daphne du Maurier concentrates all her biographer's skill on the shadowy figure of Branwell Bronte, and no reader could fail to be intensely moved by Branwell's final retreat into laudanum, alcohol - and death Full Product DetailsAuthor: Daphne Du Maurier , Justine PicardyPublisher: Little, Brown Book Group Imprint: Virago Press Ltd Edition: New edition Volume: 618 Dimensions: Width: 13.00cm , Height: 2.20cm , Length: 19.60cm Weight: 0.220kg ISBN: 9781844080755ISBN 10: 1844080757 Pages: 320 Publication Date: 04 May 2006 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: To order  Stock availability from the supplier is unknown.
