Maria No More in the Darkness

The Italian Brontë scholar, translator to Italian of Brontë juvenilia and author Maddalena De Leo has written to us discussing one of her upcoming projects. No less than a novel inspired by Maria Branwell's life and her beloved Cornwall. The title will be 'Mai più in oscurità' which in English means 'No More in the Darkness', because it aims to re-evaluate the forgotten character of Maria Branwell in the Brontë saga. Some years ago Angela Crow published a novella also based on the life of the mother of the Brontës with the name Miss Branwell's Companion.

She is now looking for a publisher to print it as she expects to complete it this coming winter.
