Picking up where v.1 left off (it covered 1827-33), v.2 covers three years in which Branwell produced the largest body of work of any comparable period. He produced 42 (37 extant) poems
(previously published in the editor's 1990 work), and some 300,500 words, of which most are published here for the first time. The focus is on the creation of Angria and conflicts between
Alexander Percy, Earl of Northangerland, and Arthur Wellesly, Duke of Amorna, and King Adrian. The writings are published here without changes in original spelling, punctuation, and sentence
structure in order to preserve original meaning and allow study of the writer's development. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
