Synopsis

An early novel by the distinguished American writer Fanny Howe, recently revised, Bronte Wilde, set against the background of the emerging counter-culture of the early 1960s, is the tragic tale of a dispossessed young woman, in thrall to a childhood friend, who flees from the East to the West coast of the USA in a vain bid to reinvent herself.

Fanny Howe, acclaimed as a poet and novelist, was born in Buffalo, NY, and brought up in Boston. For some years she was professor of literature at the University of California, San Diego, and later visiting writer/lecturer at various colleges in the USA and Ireland. She was shortlisted for the Griffin Poetry Prize in 2001 and 2005, and for the Man Booker International Prize in 2015. She has won the National Poetry Foundation Award (twice) and the American Book Award for Fiction, among others.
