Anne Brontë's debut novel tells the realistic and moving story of a young governess
For well-educated women of lesser means in the mid-nineteenth century, there was only one option for employment that paid decently and provided a sense of dignity: becoming a governess. These young women were tasked with educating the children of the rich in the ways of the world.
When the Grey family falls into debt, Agnes is forced to find work as a governess and learns of the misery and cruelty that exist in the landed classes. In her first home, she sees a family with spoiled, abusive children; and in the second, she discovers the misery of the elite, who seem from afar to have everything. Drawing from her own experiences as a governess, Brontë has crafted with warmth and realism the story of a young woman named Agnes Grey.

Par autoru
Anne Brontë (1820–1849) was an English poet and novelist—the youngest of the famous Brontë sisters. Throughout her brief career, she developed a reputation as an unwaveringly realistic writer in an era when candor was uncommon. Brontë was first published with her sisters under a pseudonym, with the poetry collection Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell in 1846. She then wrote the semiautobiographical Agnes Grey and followed that with the daring Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Soon after the deaths of her sister Emily and her brother, Branwell, Brontë succumbed to tuberculosis and died.
