Facsimiles of many of Branwell Brontë’s manuscripts in both prose and verse, and extracts from each, are to be found in the Shakespeare Head edition of the Miscellaneous Works of Charlotte and Branwell Brontë, in two volumes, edited by T. J. Wise and J. A. Symington, published by Basil Blackwell, Oxford, 1934. The Poems of Charlotte and Patrick Branwell Brontë have been collected in a separate volume of the Shakespeare Head edition, edited by T. J. Wise and J. A. Symington, 1934.
The Odes of Horace, privately printed for John Drinkwater in 1923, are included in the Shakespeare Head Miscellaneous Works.
The Leyland Manuscripts, privately printed for the Brontë Society in 1925, are included in the four volumes of the Shakespeare Head edition of The Brontës. Their Lives, Friendships and Correspondence, edited by T. J. Wise and J. A. Symington, 1932.
And the Weary Are At Rest was privately printed for J. A. Symington in 1924.
Branwell’s Copy Book, in the Brontë Museum, proves that many of his poems, which he transcribed himself at a later date, were first written between 1834–1838. The Doubter’s Hymn, for instance (‘Life is a passing sleep…’) was written in November, 1835, and transcribed in May, 1837. Azrael was written on April 30th, 1838, and transcribed on May 12th, 1838, yet in the Shakespeare Head edition of the Poems the date is given as 1842.
The long poem The Wanderer, dated Bradford, 1838 (manuscript in the Ashley Library, British Museum), was entitled Sir Henry Tunstall in September 1842, and sent by Branwell to Blackwood’s Magazine. It was printed in Annals of a Publishing House: William Blackwood and His Sons by Mrs Oliphant, 1897.
The manuscripts of Morley Hall (fragment only), the poem Landseer’s Painting (‘The Shepherd’s Chief Mourned’—a dog keeping watch at twilight over its master’s grave), and the two sonnets The Callousness Produced by Care and Peaceful Death and Happy Life, all undated, are in the possession of the present writer.
