As a bold and gifted child, his 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 Charlotte, Emily and Anne. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaphne du Maurier concentrates all her biographer's skill on the shadowy figure of Branwell Bronte. No reader could fail to be intensely moved by Branwell's final retreat into laudanum, alcohol and death. \u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Virago","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":37542712410291,"sku":"9781844080755","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/3364\/4979\/products\/9781844080755-original.jpg?v=1771432137"},{"product_id":"maya-angelou-the-complete-poetry","title":"Maya Angelou: The Complete Poetry","description":"From her reflections on African American life and hardship in \u003ci\u003eJust Give Me a Cool \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eDrink of Water 'fore I Diiie \u003c\/i\u003eto her revolutionary celebrations of womanhood in \u003ci\u003ePhenomenal Woman\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStill I Rise\u003c\/i\u003e, and her elegant tributes to dignitaries Bill Clinton and Nelson Mandela (\u003ci\u003eOn the Pulse of Morning\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHis Day Is Done\u003c\/i\u003e, respectively), every inspiring word of Maya Angelou's poetry is included in the pages of this volume.","brand":"Virago","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":37542876348595,"sku":"9780349006215","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/3364\/4979\/products\/9780349006215-original.jpg?v=1771469028"}],"url":"https:\/\/store.virago.co.uk\/collections\/classic-poetry.oembed","provider":"Virago Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
