Summary:
"Concerned for her family's financial welfare and eager to expand her own horizons,
Agnes
Grey
takes up the position of governess, the only respectable employment for an unmarried woman in the nineteenth century. Unfortunately,
Agnes
cannot anticipate the hardship, humiliation, and loneliness that await her in the brutish Bloomfield and haughty Murray households. Drawn from Anne Brontë's own experiences,
Agnes
Grey
depicts the harsh conditions and class snobbery that governesses were often forced to endure."--Modern Library.

Historical fiction.
