Cathcliffism forgery

The Times News in Brief highlights the Brontë connections of Justine Picardie's latest novel Daphne in a slightly tabloid-like way:

Brontë works ‘written by brother’
Writings believed to be by Emily and Charlotte Brontë, left, were actually by their disreputable brother, Branwell, but passed off as theirs by a forger, a new book suggests (Ben Hoyle writes).
Branwell was a poet and painter addicted to alcohol and opium who died at the age of 31. The fraud is hinted at in correspondence between Daphne du Maurier and the disgraced Brontë historian J. Alexander Symington. The writer Justine Picardie found the letters at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, West Yorkshire, while she was researching her novel Daphne.
