Resume: Agnes Grey Le roman raconte l'histoire d'Agnes Grey, fille
du pasteur d'un village du nord de l'Angleterre. Ses parents ayant
subi un revers de fortune, Agnes decide de les aider financierement
en occupant l'un des rares emplois permis aux femmes respectables
au debut de l'ere victorienne: elle devient gouvernante d'enfants
de riche. Elle travaille dans deux familles, les Bloomfield et les
Murray, et doit bientot faire face a l'indiscipline des enfants
gates. Elle s'apercoit aussi que, dans cette riche bourgeoisie
terrienne, l'argent et le statut detruisent les valeurs sociales et
morales. Agnes Grey est le premier des deux romans d'Anne Bronte.
Publie en decembre 1847 sous le pseudonyme d'Acton Bell, le roman
est fonde sur la propre experience d'Anne comme gouvernante, et
presente certains rapports stylistiques avec les uvres de Jane
Austen, plus importants que dans les textes suivants. Comme Jane
Eyre, de sa s ur Charlotte (publie en octobre 1847), le livre
decrit la position precaire des gouvernantes et la facon dont les
jeunes femmes exercant cette profession en sont affectees. Toutes
les histoires vraies portent avec elles une instruction, bien que
dans quelques-unes le tresor soit difficile a trouver, et si mince
en quantite, que le noyau sec et ride ne vaut souvent pas la peine
que l'on a eue de casser la noix. Qu'il en soit ainsi ou non de mon
histoire, c'est ce dont je ne puis juger avec competence. Je pense
pourtant qu'elle peut etre utile a quelques-uns, et interessante
pour d'autres; mais le public jugera par lui-meme. Protegee par ma
propre obscurite, par le laps des ans et par des noms supposes, je
ne crains point d'entreprendre ce recit, et de livrer au public ce
que je ne decouvrirais pas au plus intime ami. Mon pere, membre du
clerge dans le nord de l'Angleterre, etait justement respecte par
tous ceux qui le connaissaient. Dans sa jeunesse, il vivait assez
confortablement avec les revenus d'un petit benefice et d'une
propriete a lui. Ma mere, qui l'epousa contre la volonte de ses
amis, etait la fille d'un squire et une femme de c ur. En vain on
lui representa que, si elle devenait la femme d'un pauvre ministre,
il lui faudrait renoncer a sa voiture, a sa femme de chambre, au
luxe et a l'elegance de la richesse, toutes choses qui pour elle
n'etaient guere moins que les necessites de la vie. Elle repondit
qu'une voiture et une femme de chambre etaient, a la verite, fort
commodes; mais que, grace au ciel, elle avait des pieds pour la
porter et des mains pour se servir. Une elegante maison et un
spacieux domaine n'etaient point, selon elle, a mepriser; mais elle
eut mieux aime vivre dans une chaumiere avec Richard Grey, que dans
un palais avec tout autre.
