Branwell's soundtrack

The Largehearted Boy blog publishes this interesting post in which the author Douglas A. Martin of Branwell. A novel of the Brontë brother suggests a soundtrack to his own book:

Moody, broody songs with lots of plaints and hurt running through them, to differing degrees and steps. An odd list, perhaps, oddly dated. (...) So they are deep inside me, and they occur to me to call out and up when I try to think about Branwell walking around and longing, long before such rock, such rolls, such, what, expressive loves and tones. I think something might happen, something like an emotional arc, if you put these songs in this order and listened to them.
