In this last episode of the series on the Brontës we’re finally looking at brother Branwell and I recommend some novels that interact with the Bronte’s works—from modern retellings to spin offs. You can see Branwell’s painting of his sisters here.

[10:52] “Recent years have opened up a more sympathetic understanding of Branwell, perhaps due to our wider conversations about mental health and addiction.”
[16:10] “It seems there is still a gap to be filled with reference to Anne and her two novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall."
[18:26] “Without many female writing role models, the women of the nineteenth century who picked up their pen often had to hide their creative depths in their own personal ‘attics’, maintaining established and expected ideas of femininity on the outside.”
