Description

A witty and engrossing early work, The Green Dwarf displays the precocious intelligence, lively imagination and flair for storytelling which Charlotte Brontë brought to perfection in her later fiction. Lady Emily Charlesworth is in love with Leslie, a struggling artist. Lord Percy - a fierce, arrogant aristocrat - will do anything to lay his hands on Leslie's chosen bride. As war breaks out between Verdopolis, Brontë's imaginary political state, and Senegal, the lovers do battle for control of beautiful Emily's heart. With its exotic mélange of political intrigue, amorous subterfuge and Gothic scenery, The Green Dwarf demonstrates the dynamic and experimental nature of Charlotte Brontë's 'long apprenticeship in writing'.

About the Author

Author of Jane Eyre, Shirley and Villette, Charlotte Brontë ranks among the greatest English novelists. Born in Yorkshire where she remained for most of her life, she had a troubled childhood, and she and her sisters, Anne and Emily, and brother, Branwell, took solace in storytelling, producing a collection of highly imaginative and vivid tales. With such a remarkable apprenticeship in writing, Charlotte Brontë went on to pen some of the best-loved novels of all time.
