Glass Town: Isabel Greenberg

Product Information

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. Glass Town is an original graphic novel by Isabel Greenberg that encompasses the eccentric childhoods of the four Brontë children—Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne. Her drawings are harsh and deliberately untidy, channeling the frantic, awkward passion of a precocious child.However, beyond the creation of the world, Branwell is also once again left in the background when his role in not only the creation but continuation of Glass Town (later Angria) was extensive. Edward is depicted as a ruthless tradesman and industrialist who eventually becomes the Angrian minister of trade, and treats William harshly after appointing him as a clerk in his counting house.

She becomes increasingly attracted to Zamorna, her brother-in-law, legal guardian, and also her mother’s gaoler. But Emily and Anne grow frustrated with their elder siblings’ dominance, and abandon Glass Town to create the new land of Gondal.If you asked any diehard comics fan to pick a title sporting all of these things, they likely wouldn’t first point to a work by 1800’s English poet and novelist Charlotte Brontë. and] owes as much to fairy tale and the Arabian Nights as it does to geographical descriptions of what was known as 'the dark continent'".
