Agnes Grey exposes the harsh working conditions of a young
governess who's hired by multiple families, including the overly
critical Bloomfields and the delusional Murrays. While on
assignment, Agnes endures consistent cruelty, forcing her to look
inward for strength and encouragement. Agnes is a young woman who
comes from an impoverished background. Eager for financial
independence, she accepts a position as a governess for an
upper-class family. Agnes is initially charged with the Bloomfield
children, who are unruly and slightly sadistic. The oldest boy,
Tom, is particularly threatening, as he likes to capture and harm
small animals. Agnes also engages with the extremely wealthy
Murrays and their daughters, Matilda and Rosalie, who are in dire
need of direction. Agnes attempts to navigate her growing
responsibilities, while maintaining her morals and resilience. In
Agnes Grey, Anne Bronte examines a common plight among
working-class people. It offers a revealing look at the corruptive
nature of wealth, and the moral differences between the haves and
the have nots. It goes beyond the surface to expose an unflattering
but honest reality. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Agnes Grey is
both modern and readable.
