Publisher's Synopsis
Anne Bronte's first novel, boldly drawn from her own experiences as a governess
Anne Bronte wrote Agnes Grey out of an urgent need to inform her contemporaries about the desperate position of unmarried, educated women driven to take up the only "respectable" career open to them--that of a governess. Struggling with the monstrous Bloomfield children and then disdained in the superior Murray household, Agnes tells a story that is a compelling inside view of Victorian chauvinism and ruthless materialism.
