Agnes Grey (Bronte - Dover ed.)

Author: Anne Brontë

ISBN: 9780486451213

Binding: paperback

Section: Fiction

Written with a realism that shocked critics, this biting social commentary offers a sympathetic portrait of Agnes and a moving indictment of her brutish and haughty employers. Separated from her family and friends by many miles, paid little more than subsistence wages, Agnes stands alone — both in society at large and in a household where she is neither family member nor servant. Agnes Grey remains a landmark in the literature of social history.
