Branwell Bronte's Alexander Rougue/Percy. Part 1

The evolution of Alexander Rougue and his transformation into Alexander Percy/Earl of Northangerland was a lengthy, tortuous and sometimes implausible process that required a good bit of help from Charlotte. This evolution has been partially covered by Christine Alexander in The Early Writings of Charlotte Bronte, but, of course, with a focus on Charlotte's writing. This analysis of the process focuses on Branwell's writings. The analysis offers interesting and significant insights into the interplay between Branwell and Charlotte, into Branwell's narrative skills, and into the formation of some of his thoughts, attitudes and beliefs.
