Agnes Grey - 9781533590671

Agnes Grey is the debut novel of English author Anne Bronte. The novel follows Agnes Grey, a governess, as she works within families of the English gentry. The choice of central character allows Anne to deal with issues of oppression and abuse of women and governesses, isolation and ideas of empathy. An additional theme is the fair treatment of animals.

The Irish novelist George Moore praised Agnes Grey as "the most perfect prose narrative in English letters,""
