From the rear cover
In her daring first novel, the youngest Bront sister drew upon her own experiences to tell the unvarnished truth about life as a governess. Like Agnes Grey, Anne Bront was a young middle-class Victorian lady whose family fortunes had faltered. Like so many other unmarried women of the nineteenth century, Bront accepted the only "respectable" employment available--and entered a world of hardship, humiliation, and loneliness.
Written with a realism that shocked critics, this biting social commentary offers a sympathetic portrait of Agnes and a moving indictment of her brutish and haughty employers. Separated from her family and friends by many miles, paid little more than subsistence wages, Agnes stands alone--both in society at large and in a household where she is neither family member nor servant.
In addition to its challenge to the era's chauvinism and materialism, Agnes Grey features a first-person narrative that offers a rare opportunity to hear the voice of a Victorian working woman.
