About the book

Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey draws closely on the author's own experiences as a governess. The novel follows Agnes, the daughter of a financially troubled clergyman, who seeks employment teaching the children of wealthy families in order to support herself and help her parents. Her work exposes her to selfish children, indifferent employers and the uncomfortable position of a governess who belongs fully neither to the servant class nor to the family. Through Agnes's quiet determination, Brontë explores class, education, independence and the dignity of maintaining one's principles in difficult circumstances.
