About the book: "Agnes Grey" is Anne Brontë's debut novel, published under the pen name "Acton Bell" in 1847. It follows the story of Agnes, a governess in the English gentry, based on Anne's own experiences. Addressing the oppression of women, the novel also emphasizes empathy and fair treatment of animals. It incorporates bildungsroman elements, exploring personal growth and coming of age. Praised by George Moore as a perfect prose narrative, some modern critics admire its craftsmanship but with less overt praise compared to Jane Austen's work. The novel stands as a compelling portrayal of a governess's struggles and societal challenges.
