Agnes Grey

First published in a volume that also contained her sister's "Wuthering Heights," Brontë 's daring first novel was hailed as "the most perfect prose narrative in English literature" by famed Irish novelist George Moore. Originally quite scandalous and drawing from the author's own troubled life, this biting social commentary exposes the hardships of a governess's life.
