About The Hand of the Arch-sinner

A prolific writer, Branwell cast his works in the form of 'chronicles' detailing the activities of his central character, Alexander Percy, revolutionary leader and ruthless statesman. These two 'Angrian Chronicles', newly transcribed and reconstructed under the editorship of Robert G. Collins, reveal the dramatic world of the Brontes' Angria, not from the more sentimentalized viewpoint of Charlotte, but focusing instead on the lawless and brutal society of Branwell's robber-king and self-proclaimed Lucifer. The stories suggest a detailed psychological description of Branwell's own tragic life, and constitute a significant influence on the work of his more celebrated sisters.
