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 meager income and assert her independence.

Anne Brontë's first novel, which draws on her own experiences, offers a compelling personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women for whom becoming a governess was the only respectable career open to them in Victorian society.

All true histories contain instruction; though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find, and when found, so trivial in quantity, that the dry, shrivelled kernel scarcely compensates for the trouble of cracking the nut. Whether this be the case with my history or not, I am hardly competent to judge. I sometimes think it might prove useful to some, and entertaining to others; but the world may judge for itself. Shielded by my own obscurity, and by the lapse of years, and a few fictitious names, I do not fear to venture; and will candidly lay before the public what I would not disclose to the most intimate friend.

After experiencing a devastating financial scandal, Agnes Grey arrives at Wellwood House, determined to rebuild her life working as a governess. But her hopes are soon dashed as she faces extreme cruelty from her employers. Can Agnes regain her spirit and restore her faith in others, or is she doomed to face a life of solitude?

Beautiful and secretive, Helen Graham has recently moved into Wildfell Hall. Her reclusive behaviour quickly makes her the subject of local gossip and conjecture.

La última vez que nos vimos, me obsequiaste con un relato muy interesante y pormenorizado de los acontecimientos más notables de tu vida, ocurridos con anterioridad a nuestro primer encuentro; y a continuación me pediste a cambio parecidas confidencias. No encontrándome en aquel momento en un estado de ánimo propicio para la narración, decliné hacerlo, con la excusa de no tener nada especial que contar, y otras parecidas que fueron consideradas totalmente inadmisibles por tu parte; porque aunque cambiaste de inmediato de conversación, lo hiciste con el aire de un hombre que no se queja pero está profundamente dolido y tu semblante se cubrió con una nube que lo oscureció hasta el final de nuestra charla, y, por lo que sé, lo sigue oscureciendo; porque tus cartas se han distinguido desde entonces por una cierta rigidez y reserva dignas y al mismo tiempo semimelancólicas, que me habrían afectado seriamente si mi conciencia me hubiera acusado de merecerlas.
