Project Gutenberg 1999-07-01 Public domain in the USA. 58 Aldrich, Thomas Bailey 1836 1907 Aldrich, T. B. (Thomas Bailey) Wyndham Towers Produced by Donald Lainson, and David Widger "Wyndham Towers" by Thomas Bailey Aldrich is a narrative poem written in the late 19th century, blending elements of historical fiction with themes of isolation and unrequited love. Set in England during the Tudor period, the story revolves around the lives of Richard Wyndham and his brother Darrell, as they navigate their tumultuous relationship and their connections to the enigmatic Wyndham Towers, a decaying estate steeped in history and secrets. The poem explores the contrasting personalities of the two brothers: Richard, the introspective and brooding elder who struggles with his feelings for Griselda, a tenant's daughter, and Darrell, the more adventurous younger brother who leaves for glory and fame. Their stories intertwine dramatically as Richard’s obsession with Griselda grows while tension simmers between the brothers. This culminates in a tragic event that forever alters their fates, leading to a haunting mystery surrounding their disappearances. Through rich imagery and a gothic atmosphere, Aldrich delves into themes of love, envy, and the weight of familial bonds against the backdrop of a decaying noble lineage.
