Description
Agnes Grey is a novel that explores the life of its titular character, Agnes, as she navigates her role as a governess in Victorian England. Born into a family of modest means, Agnes takes on this position to contribute to her family's financial rebuilding after her father's mercantile investment fails. As Agnes settles into her new roles, she faces challenges and difficulties, including uncouth and cruel families, but also begins to build relationships outside the family, particularly with a kind and empathetic young curate. Through her experiences, Agnes perseveres on a path of hope and determination, driven by her own resilience and resourcefulness. This Broadview Edition includes extensive historical documents that provide insight into the novel's reception, the role of governesses in Victorian England, and contemporary debates about animal treatment, offering a nuanced understanding of this significant work.
