Drawing directly on the author’s own experience, Agnes Grey delivers a trenchant expose of the isolation, intellectual stagnation and emotional deprivation that so often defined the working conditions of mid-nineteenth-century governesses. Its deeply personal origins give the novel a power and poignancy that mark it out as a landmark work of literature charting the social and moral evolution of English society during that century.
