Synopsis "Agnes Grey"

The well-educated daughter of a penniless clergyman, Agnes Grey is treated like a child by her family and so she sets out to prove herself by seeking employment as a governess. Soon, however, her idealistic notions regarding the education and care of her wards are dashed as she battles to control the wild Bloomfield children; eventually she is relieved of her duties. Then, she starts working for the Murray household; even though her position is slightly better than the previous one, she is held in low regard by the Murrays. This is a deeply personal novel written from the author's own experience, dealing with themes such as the nature of childhood, the rise of the middle classes and the loneliness, cruelty, and even ill-treatment that life as a governess could entail. Agnes Grey is full of quiet passion and remains a beloved classic up to this day.

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.
