It is VERY much like the pulp fiction of the 18th century. It reminded me the most strongly of Love in a Maze. There are cold-hearted villains and lovely, pure maidens and all the things you expect from a stock romance. It's just great juvenelia from C. Bronte. Well worth the time. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Witty and engrossing, this early work displays the precocious intelligence, lively imagination, and flair for storytelling that 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 Emily's heart. With its exotic melange of political intrigue, amorous subterfuge, and Gothic scenery, The Green Dwarf reveals the dynamic and experimental nature of Brontë's "long apprenticeship in writing." Charlotte Brontë is best remembered for her perennially popular novel Jane Eyre. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

But it's hardly fair to criticize a work of this nature, considering the author was not writing for the public, nor had she been taught how to improve her writing style at this stage of her life.
At the height of her success Charlotte Brontë would doubtless never have dreamed of "The Green Dwarf" being published. Here, aged 17, the genius she would become was very much waiting in the wings.
If you're a Brontë fan wanting to read everything the famous sisters ever wrote, check this out with no high expectations. ( )
