![]() So – the framing device in this book is that Charles, a character from Glass Town, has come to invite Charlotte to return to Glass Town now that Branwell, Anne, and Emily have died. ![]() She vowed to spend no more time writing or thinking about Angria. When Charlotte Bronte began teaching in Brussels, she became so consumed with thoughts of Glass Town that she feared she was losing touch with reality. They were joined by Emily and Anne, and proceeded to create a paracosm (my new favorite word – it refers to very elaborate world-building) called the Glasstown Confederacy and the world of Angria. In real life and as described in Glass Town, young Charlotte and her surviving siblings, Branwell, Emily, and Anne, created an imaginary city called Glass Town. While I was initially put off by the art, it grew on me, and the plot enchanted me from the first page. Glass Town is about the imaginary worlds that the Bronte siblings created. ![]() Glass Town is an enchanting graphic novel that has, in professional terms, “weird but effective art.” That’s the kind of lofty professional assessment that gets me the big bucks, folks. ![]()
