Glass Town

Source 📝

229:(1830–31) by Branwell BrontĂ«, Branwell chronicled the establishment of the Glass Town Federation colony by "twelve adventurers who set sail for West Africa" from his persona of Glass Town historian Captain John Bud. In this manuscript, "Branwell drew a map of the Glass Town Federation complete with mountain ranges, rivers and trade routes. It shows the four kingdoms run by the siblings: Wellington’s Land, Parry’s Land, Ross’s Land and Sneaky’s Land. Being the baby of the family, Anne has the diminutive kingdom of Ross's Land. Also shown on the map, outlined in red, is the cosmopolitan district. This contains the Great Glass Town capital, (later known as ‘Verreopolis’ or ‘Verdopolis’). This grew to be a thriving city of factories, prisons, palaces and dungeons. As explained in the history, it even has a labyrinthine network of caves beneath, harbouring criminals and low life". 141:(about twenty thousand words) along with "many long stories, plays and poems" and a catalogue to keep track of her work. Charlotte, in private letters, called Glass Town "her 'world below', a private escape where she could act out her desires and multiple identities". Charlotte's "predilection for romantic settings, passionate relationships, and high society is at odds with Branwell's obsession with battles and politics and her young sisters' homely North Country realism, none the less at this stage there is still a sense of the writings as a family enterprise". "Branwell was at the centre of this universe, often dictating the events of the saga or writing long parliamentary speeches and war epics". 292:
numerous private collectors and other libraries have a page or more, all of which had to be found, identified, dated and virtually stitched into original places to create the chronological record". In addition to contacting libraries and archives, Alexander traced old sales catalogues and "travelled all over the United States and Canada on a Greyhound bus, knocking on doors of private collectors, eventually finding more than 100 unpublished Charlotte Bronte manuscripts and an equal number of unknown drawings and paintings by the Brontes". Alexander has over the decades since continued to publish an updated catalogue on the various locations of the manuscripts, including private collections.
19: 264:"In 1829 and 1830, Charlotte and Branwell cobbled the pages together from printed waste and scrap paper, perhaps cut from margins of discarded pamphlets. They wrote with steel-nibbed pens, which tend to blot, yet the even script demonstrates their practiced hand". These hand-bound books measure about 2.5 by 5 centimeters. "Only about 20 volumes of BrontĂ« juvenilia are known to remain. Harvard holds nine, the BrontĂ« Museum at the family home in England owns a few, and the remaining are scattered among museums and private collectors". 240:", however, the BrontĂ«s eventually "focused on developing two of their own characters : Zamorna, the Duke of Wellington's son, and Alexander Percy, known throughout the later works as Northangerland. Although both were regular characters in Charlotte and Branwell's early Glass Town writings , it is not until 1834, the siblings' new kingdom Angria, and Zamorna's subsequent marriage to Northangerland's daughter, Mary, that the duo's incredible dynamic is fully unleashed. Betrayal and revenge are paramount in the Angrian saga". 173:. "At the end of 1839, BrontĂ« said goodbye to her fantasy world in a manuscript called Farewell to Angria. More and more, she was finding that she preferred to escape to her imagined worlds over remaining in reality – and she feared that she was going mad. So she said goodbye to her characters, scenes and subjects. She wrote of the pain she felt at wrenching herself from her 'friends' and venturing into lands unknown". Both Branwell and Emily continued to write about their worlds until their deaths. 249: 391:
the Twelves (as the company is known) set up a colonial outpost, and lay claim to land as their own. After building their first settlement – Twelves Town – they find themselves at war with the native Ashantee tribe. The Twelves win, which impresses the British Government. One of the Twelves, Arthur Wellesley, is chosen by the British to lead troops against the Emperor Napoleon. He defeats Napoleon and returns victorious to Glass Town where he becomes king". Emma Butcher wrote, in the
1749: 214:. The manuscripts were originally centred on "the Glass Town Federation and its principal city Verdopolis (initially called the Great Glass Town), and then moved to Angria, a new kingdom created in 1834 to the west of the Federation. The BrontĂ«s filled this imaginative space with their own version of early nineteenth-century society with its international relations and domestic affairs . Wars and political upheavals dominate the events of the saga throughout its history". 2191: 222:, the BrontĂ« siblings named their toy soldiers "the Twelves or ‘Young Men’ and created names and personalities that brought them to life. As Wellington was Charlotte’s ‘Young Man’ and Parry was Emily’s, this is evidence of a partnership of the imagination between the two sisters. The mention of the toy soldiers dates the little book to at least 1826, when the toy soldiers were given to the children". 352:, a British biographer, highlighted that the BrontĂ« juvenilia consists of poetry, plays, and magazines "with accompanying maps and histories" and is over 50,000 words; "much of it set in imaginary places like Glass Town and Angria, with interlocking casts of countless characters. Harman compares it aptly to computer gaming — although the Brontes created it all from scratch". 196: 116:. Glass Town was founded when twelve wooden soldiers were offered to Branwell BrontĂ« by his father, Patrick BrontĂ«, on 5 June 1826. It was only during December 1827 that the world really took shape, when Charlotte suggested that everyone own and manage their own island, which they named after heroic leaders: Charlotte had Wellington, Branwell had Sneaky, Emily had 187: 128:.
