Agnes Grey: Including Introductory Essays by Virginia Woolf, Charlotte Brontë and Clement K. Shorter

A heart-warming love story with themes of fierce feminine independence, Anne Brontë’s Agnes Grey is a sensational semi-autobiographical novel.

Taking inspiration from her own life experiences, Anne writes about a young governess, Agnes Grey, and the struggles and joys she faces as she embarks on her challenging career. From unmanageable children to the kindness of a gentle curate, Agnes keenly feels the highs and lows of her new life and battles against the challenge so many women are familiar with: feeling invisible.

First published in 1847, this short novel covers many of the same themes as Charlotte Brontë’s earlier work, Jane Eyre, and is a wonderful insight into life for women in the nineteenth century.
