About this deal

This is a large, thick book that is an absolute pleasure to look upon and hold, with a beautiful red ribbon incorporated as a page marker. In the Glass Town texts he is King of Wellingtonsland and leader of the four Kings of the Glass Town Federation.

In the 1970s, Christine Alexander, of the University of New South Wales, began to track down the Brontë juvenilia to transcribe and organize it; [20] when she began, "only about a third of the manuscripts had been published". As the name suggests it tells the story of the Brontë juvenilia, but it does so much more than this too. It both is and isn’t; Greenberg states right at the beginning of the text that what follows inspired by the Brontës and their creations, but this is a book about her Glass Town. Harvard's collection originated from when Arthur Bell Nicholls, Charlotte’s husband, sold volumes "after her death to a collector, who gave them to poet and fellow collector Amy Lowell; she donated the set to Houghton Library in 1925". Following Mina’s rejection, Hartford drunkenly duels with Zamorna, and sustains injuries he is still recovering from during the events of Stancliffe’s Hotel (1838).He initially appoints Percy as Prime Minister who later turns against him alongside Ardrah and the Reformist Party.

Percy has many aliases throughout the juvenilia, including Lord Ellrington (Elrington) and the Earl of Northangerland; he also sometimes adopts the role of a hypocritical Methodist preacher named Ashworth. The Glass Town is a paracosm created and written as a shared fantasy world by Charlotte Brontë, Branwell Brontë, Emily Brontë and Anne Brontë, siblings of the Brontë family.Rowan Coleman A totally immersive read into the world of the famous Bronte juvenilia, both of the fiction and its creators. Four children: Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne have invented a world so real and vivid that they can step right into it.

With little effort, Glass Town manages to create a sense of familiarity and accessibility between the reader and the Brontë siblings that is much needed in regard to famous authors. I also thought that Greenberg’s text could have focused a little more on the Brontës’ determination to become authors and the fact that their juvenilia was a long literary apprenticeship on the road to success in adulthood. Christine Alexander, a Brontë juvenilia historian, wrote that "this fictitious world established in Africa bears little resemblance to Africa [.

as well as three stories set in the fictional settlement of Glass Town, including one featuring a scene that seems to be a precursor to the famous one in ' Jane Eyre' where Mr. Set in Verdopolis and "sub-titled ‘A Tale of Our Own Times’, the story has magical elements but also touches on themes relevant to Victorian society, such as child cruelty, social class, orphans and inheritance". However, the original incarnation, as well as his creators, were very much a product of their own time.
