ANNE BRONTE - GEBRAUCHT AGNES GREY (PENGUIN CLA...

When her family becomes impoverished after a disastrous financial speculation  Agnes Grey
determines to find work as a governess in order to contribute to their meagre income and assert
her independence. But Agnes' enthusiasm is swiftly extinguished as she struggles first with the
unmanageable Bloomfield children and then with the painful disdain of the haughty Murray family
the only kindness she receives comes from Mr Weston  the sober young curate. Drawing on her own
experience  Anne Bronte's first novel offers a compelling personal perspective on the desperate
position of unmarried  educated women for whom becoming a governess was the only respectable
career open in Victorian society.
