Synopsis "Agnes Grey (in English)"

Drawing on her own experience, Anne Brontë exposes the isolated world of a nineteenth-century governess in her debut novel, Agnes Grey. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by historian and biographer, Juliet Barker.Agnes Grey is the youngest daughter of a clergyman. When the family falls on hard times, she insists on finding work as a governess in order to help her family and prove to them that she’s no longer a child. But her idealistic spirit is tested in her first position with the Bloomfield family and their unruly and spoilt children. Next she works for the even wealthier Murray family, whose scheming daughter Rosalie threatens to jeopardize the only bright spot in Agnes’s life: the young curate Edward Weston.

Anne Brönte era la más joven de las hermanas Brontë. Al igual que sus hermanas Emily y Charlotte, ha pasado a la historia de la literatura a pesar de su corta vida y con solo dos novelas escritas, que publicó bajo el seudónimo de Acton Bell. Siendo una adolescente, junto a su hermana Emily, creó el imaginario reino de Gondal, acerca del cual ambas escribieron cuentos y poemas. A los 19 años entró a trabajar de institutriz, pero enseguida se sintió frustrada al no poder educar bien a una infancia que le pareció ingobernable y consentida. Esta experiencia le sirvió para moldear su primera novela, _Agnes Grey._ La buena acogida de esta obra, permitió al año siguiente la aparición de la segunda y última, _La inquilina de Wildfell Hall._ En ella, se narraba la llegada de una mujer, aparentemente viuda, y de su hijo de corta edad a una antigua mansión, hecho que desatará todo tipo de reacciones en la vecindad. Esta novela fue tachada de inmoral por sus contemporáneos debido a la dureza de ciertos pasajes. Anne murió de tuberculosis.
