Talk:Branwell Brontë

message: I personally think that Branwell needs more recognistion as an influence, for much of his sisters' work is based on the actions of their brother. He could well have also influenced many other people and it seems he was a fantastic man when he was living. My hat goes off to him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.40.121.8 (talk) 18:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Branwell the legend 

message: Mrs. Robinson's affair with Branwell Brontë is interestingly mirrored in the 1967 movie The Graduate, in which the young man seduced is called "Benjamin Braddock".
Apart from the pretty commonplace idea of a young man having an affair with a married woman, what are the links? We need a source showing that "Benjamin Braddock" was an intentional link to Branwell Bronte, or at least that it has been widely taken as one. Flapdragon (talk) 12:31, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Graduate 

message: The text of that picture of the Bronte sisters says that Branwell painted himself out. I've also read that at some point his father was angered with him and rubbed the image out with turpentine. Probably a romantic fantasy of some writer. Saxophobia (talk) 01:16, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

message: The genesis of genius: Tiny books by the Brontë children suggest the unbounded creativity to come – Harvard University library preservation, digitization, and online exhibit
--namely, these nine books: "Only about 20 volumes[!] of Brontë juvenilia are known to remain. Harvard holds nine, the Brontë Museum at the family home in England owns a few, and the remaining are scattered among museums and private collectors."

thread_title:  Miniature books by Branwell and Charlotte 

message: I've found a source for the pronunciation of the surname Brontë, from Merriam Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature. To quote from the Explanatory Notes:
:"When our research shows that an author's pronunciation of his or her name differs from common usage, the author's pronunciation is listed first, and the descriptor commonly precedes the more familiar pronunciation."
The book then goes on to list BronTEE as the author's pronunciation, but commonly pronounced by others as BronTAY.
This source is available on Google Books, so anyone can check it online. DORC (talk) 18:11, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: An IP editor brought up that part of the juvenilia list is solely attributed to Charlotte. I've started to go through the list and removed the works attributed to Charlotte (see list below). That search also led me to other works of Branwell's so I've added those to the article. Sariel Xilo (talk) 05:55, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
