Agnes Gray (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162651804)

Agnes Gray is a novel written by Anne Bronte, published in 1847. The story follows the life of Agnes, the daughter of a poor clergyman who becomes a governess to support her family. Agnes faces many challenges in her new role, including dealing with difficult children and navigating the complex relationships between members of the household. Along the way, she also falls in love with the local curate, Mr. Weston, but must overcome obstacles to be with him. The novel explores themes of class, gender, and morality, as well as the struggles of a young woman trying to find her place in the world. With its vivid characters and insightful commentary on Victorian society, Agnes Gray is considered a classic of English literature.AS WE drove along, my spirits revived again, and I turned, with pleasure, to the contemplation of the new life upon which I was entering; but, though it was not far past the middle of September, the heavy clouds, and strong north-easterly wind combined to render the day extremely cold and dreary, and the journey seemed a very long one, for, as Smith observed, the roads were very heavy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
