Agnes GreyWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SAMANTHA ELLIS Based on the author's own experience, Agnes Grey explores the position of women in Victorian society through the story of a young woman forced to work as a governess when her father is ruined financially. It is a classic not just as a result of the subtle and ironic force of Anne Bronte's prose, but also because of the passionate indictment of social injustice which animates it. |
