{"product_id":"9781933368009","title":"Branwell","description":"\u003cbr\u003eA gifted artist and writer, Branwell Bronte, an only son, is expected to make the family fortune and distinguish the Bronte name. Instead, he dies at 31 from alcohol and opium abuse. Painstakingly tutored at home by his father, Branwell and his sisters write endless stories about imaginary worlds far from their bleak parsonage home. As his sisters spin the stories that will immortalize them, Branwell sinks under the weight of great expectations. With language as rich and dark as the moors of \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJane Eyre,\u003c\/i\u003e Douglas A. Martin probes the locus where history and myth collide, and uncovers Branwell’s lost loves, thwarted talent, and possible homosexuality. Maintaining the haunting quality of childhood memory throughout, \u003ci\u003eBronte Boy\u003c\/i\u003e is a genre-bending exploration of the tragic figure of Branwell Bronte and the dismal, dazzling landscape that inspired his sisters to greatness.","brand":"Soft Skull Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47046534463728,"sku":"9781933368009","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781933368009_p0.jpg?v=1763640763","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781933368009","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
