Publisher's Synopsis
Agnes Grey is an 1847 novel written by English author Anne Bront�. The novel is about a governess of that name and is said to be based on Bront�'s own experiences in the field. It was Bront�'s first novel. Similar to her sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre, this is a novel that addresses what the precarious position of governess entailed and how it affected a young woman. The Irish novelist George Moore praised Agnes Grey as "the most perfect prose narrative in English letters."
