Agnes Grey - Paperback
by Anne Bronte (Author)
In an effort to save her family from poverty, a young woman takes employment as a governess and discovers the great difficulties, instability, and even abuse that accompany her new position in Victorian society.
Based on Brontë's own experiences as a governess, Agnes Grey is a poignant tale that explores the repression of women as well as the coming of age of a young and memorable heroine. Deeply personal and socially critical, Agnes Grey has been described by the Irish novelist George Moore as "the most perfect prose narrative in the English language."
Anne Brontë (1820-49) was the youngest of the Brontë sisters. The two novels written in her brief career, Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and a volume of poetry written with her sisters, are established classics of the Victorian period.
