Description

Agnes Grey endures two hard governess houses, keeps her integrity, and finds honesty with Mr Weston while Hatfield’s vanity shows what not to want. Spoken as Brontë working life when dignity is the real romance.

Author

Anne Brontë (1820–1849) wrote with a quieter blade than her sisters: Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall look steadily at work, drink, and a woman’s right to leave. The moral force has not dated.
