Agnes Grey

In an effort to save her family from poverty, a young woman takes employment as a governess and discovers the great difficulties, instability, and even abuse that accompany her new position in Victorian society. Based on Bronte's own experiences as a governess, "Agnes Grey" is a poignant tale that explores the repression of women as well as the coming of age of a young and memorable heroine. Deeply personal and socially critical, "Agnes Grey" has been described by the Irish novelist George Moore as "the most perfect prose narrative in the English language." 9780615949956 0615949959 198 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=SNrrsgEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
