Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë

Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë

Agnes Grey takes a position as a governess to support her financially struggling family, and finds the work far harder and lonelier than expected, subject to the casual cruelty and disrespect of employers who treat governesses as barely above servants despite their genteel education.

Anne Brontë drew directly on her own experience working as a governess, and the novel's unflinching, unglamorous portrayal of the position's real indignities distinguishes it from more romanticised Victorian depictions of domestic service, giving it a quiet social realism ahead of its time.

Anne Brontë's debut novel, praised for its clear-eyed realism about a governess's actual working life.
