Sinossi
Il primo romanzo di Anne Brontë è l'avvincente racconto autobiografico di una giovane donna alla disperata ricerca di un posto nel mondo. Quando la sua famiglia si impoverisce a causa di una disastrosa speculazione finanziaria, Agnes Grey decide di trovare lavoro come governante per contribuire al loro magro reddito e affermare la sua indipendenza. Ma l'entusiasmo di Agnes si spegne rapidamente quando lotta prima con gli ingestibili bambini di Bloomfield e poi con il doloroso disprezzo dell'altezzosa famiglia Murray; l'unica gentilezza che riceve viene dal signor Weston, il sobrio giovane curato. Basandosi sulla sua esperienza personale, il primo romanzo di Anne Brontë offre un'avvincente prospettiva personale sulla disperata posizione delle donne nubili e istruite per le quali diventare governante era l'unica carriera rispettabile aperta nella società vittoriana.

Informazioni sull?autore
Anne Brontë, who was born in 1820, was brought up in the Yorkshire village of Haworth where her father was curate. She was educated at home and, as a child, she invented with her sister Emily the imaginary world of Gondal, for which she wrote copious chronicles and poems. She held two positions as governess, with the Inghams at Blake Hall and, from 1840-45, with the Robinson family at Thorp Green. As a religious lyric poet, Anne Brontë’s hymns and lyrics rank with those of Cowper. Her first novel Agnes Grey (1847), published under the pseudonym Acton Bell, is in the tradition of fictional spiritual autobiography, written with conciseness, integrity and irony. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) is a powerful feminist testament, attacking the marriage laws, double standards of sexual morality and the education of men and women. Anne Brontë died at Scarborough in 1849. She was the youngest of the Brontë sisters, whose extraordinary gifts are only now receiving just appraisal.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Anne Bronte's first novel is the compelling autobiographical tale of a young woman desperately seeking a place in the world When her family becomes impoverished after a disastrous financial speculation, Agnes Grey determines to find work as a governess in order to contribute to their meagre income and assert her independence. But Agnes's enthusiasm is swiftly extinguished as she struggles first with the unmanageable Bloomfield children and then with the painful disdain of the haughty Murray family; the only kindness she receives comes from Mr Weston, the sober young curate. Drawing on her own experience, Anne Bronte's first novel offers a compelling personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women for whom becoming a governess was the only respectable career open in Victorian society. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR001304754
