Excerpt from The Infernal World of Branwell BrontëHaworth parsonage, and of the talented, short-lived family who dwelt within its walls, that every Bronte biography written since has been based upon it.A hundred years have gone by, the biography is still unsurpassed, but during the intervening time much has come to light about the early writings of the young Brontes, proving that from childhood and on through adolescence they lived a life of quite extraordinary fantasy, creating an imaginary world of their own, peopled with characters more real to them than the inhabitants of their father's parish. Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, Anne Bronte's The Tenants of Wildfell Hall were all famous novels and their authoresses dead when Mrs. Gaskell came to write about them. What she did not realise was that none of these novels would have come into being had not their creators lived, during childhood, in this fan tasy world, which was largely inspired and directed by their only brother, Patrick Branwell Bronte.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
