Like Agnes Grey, Anne Bront was a young middle-class Victorian lady whose family fortunes had faltered. Like so many other unmarried women of the nineteenth century, Bront accepted the only \"respectable\" employment available--and entered a world of hardship, humiliation, and loneliness.Written with a realism that shocked critics, this biting social commentary offers a sympathetic portrait of Agnes and a moving indictment of her brutish and haughty employers. Separated from her family and friends by many miles, paid little more than subsistence wages, Agnes stands alone--both in society at large and in a household where she is neither family member nor servant. Agnes Grey remains a landmark in the literature of social history. In addition to its challenge to the era's chauvinism and materialism, it features a first-person narrative that offers a rare opportunity to hear the voice of a Victorian working woman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936523976992,"sku":"NEW0486451216","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/agnes-grey-dover-thrift-editions-dover-thrift-editions-classic-novels-0486451216","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
