The Infernal World of Branwell Bronte (Virago Modern Classics)1 review
Daphne du Maurier
Virago UK, 2006
Nice to see this reissued
This is one of two works I've read about the puzzling life of Branwell Bronte, and this is the one you should read first. You'll enjoy it, and appreciate the more recent novel by Douglas A. Martin all the more for having this background beforehand.
