Synopsis
When her family becomes impoverished after a disasterous financial speculation, Agnes Grey determines to find work as a governess. This is a personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women in Victorian society. Agnes Grey is undoubtedtedly a deeply personal novel, in which Anne Bronte views on the 'contemporary' issue of the treatment of governesses, as well as her passionate religious sympathies, find very deliberate expression; but she also touches on issues of moral behaviour, moral responsibility, and individual integrity and its survival.

À propos de l'auteur
Anne Brontë was born in 1820, the youngest of the Brontë family. She was educated at home in the Yorkshire village of Howarth, and later held two positions as a governess, difficult experiences which inspired her first novel, Agnes Grey, in 1847. This was followed by The Tenant of Wildfell Hall in 1848. Anne died of tuberculosis in 1849, aged twenty-nine.

Softcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Agnes Grey, the debut novel of Anne Bronte, was first published in December 1847 and later republished in 1850. It follows the experiences of Agnes, a governess working for various bourgeois families, reflecting Bronte's own five years in similar roles. The narrative explores the precarious position of governesses, highlighting themes of oppression, isolation, and empathy, alongside advocating for the fair treatment of animals. While it employs elements of bildungsroman, it presents a character who does not necessarily gain virtue. The Irish novelist George Moore praised it as "the most perfect prose narrative in English letters," likening Bronte's style to Jane Austen. Despite initial popularity during Bronte's life, the novel faced criticism for perceived 'coarseness' and moralizing, leading to a decline in its reception after her death. Recently, scholars have revisited Agnes Grey, with renewed interest in Bronte's work. Moore's positive assessment is often cited, though some critics, like F.B. Pinion, felt his focus on style overshadowed the novel's moral purpose. Overall, Agnes Grey remains a significant exploration of women's roles and societal expectations in the 19th century.
