Anne Bronte

Da en ung, smuk kvinde flytter ind på det faldefærdige Wildfell Hall blot med en kammerpige og en lille dreng som ledsagere, løber sladderen i den lille by: Hvem er den mystiske kvinde, der altid holder sig for sig selv? Byens mest eftertragtede ungkarl forelsker sig i hende, og det lykkes ham lige så stille at lirke hendes ulykkelige livshistorie ud af hende; en historie om en dybt alkoholiseret ægtemand, hvis ondskabsfulde og nedværdigende opførsel til sidst drev hende og sønnen på flugt. Den engelske forfatter Anne Brontë (1820-1849) var den yngste af de tre Brontë-søstre, hvis romaner gennem generationer har gjort så stort et indtryk på læsere verden over. Anne Brontë voksede op i Yorkshire og arbejdede i en årrække som guvernante, hvilket har været til stor inspiration for hendes anden roman Agnes Grey. Anne Brontë nåede kun at skrive disse to romaner, inden hun som 29-årig døde af tuberkulose; den sygdom, der også kostede begge hendes søstre livet. Fruen til Wildfell Hall er oversat af Rose-Marie Tvermoes i 1979.

Da familien Grey mister hele sin formue, søger den yngste datter, Agnes, en stilling som guvernante. Hun ankommer til Bloomfields herresæde lykkelig for at kunne bidrage til sin families økonomi. Men Bloomfields ubarmhjertige behandling fratager efterhånden Agnes både værdighed og troen på mennesket. Efter sin fars død vender Agnes hjem og opbygger en pigeskole sammen med sin mor. Det bliver begyndelsen på et helt nyt - og lykkeligere - kapitel i Agnes' liv. ANNE BRONTË (1820-1849) var den yngste af de tre berømte Brontë-søstre, hvis romaner gennem generationer har begejstret læsere verden over. Anne arbejdede selv nogle år som guvernante og trak i høj grad på egne erfaringer, da hun skrev sin debutroman, som udkom blot to år før hendes død. AGNES GREY er en mesterlig coming of age-fortælling om kvindelig tapperhed og styrke i en patriarkalsk tid, stærkt præget af fordomme. Den oprindelige oversætter ukendt.

Anne Bront 's second and final novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, is an epistolary novel that tells the story through letters and a diary. It explores the challenges faced by an independent woman as she struggles for freedom from a repressive and abusive marriage and encounters suspicion and gossip from the community she has fled. The novel was first published under a pseudonym and scandalized Victorian society. With an introduction by Finola Austin, author of the bestselling novel Bront 's Mistress.

Agnes Grey exposes the harsh working conditions of a young governess who’s hired by multiple families, including the overly critical Bloomfields and the delusional Murrays. While on assignment, Agnes endures consistent cruelty, forcing her to look inward for strength and encouragement. Agnes is a young woman who comes from an impoverished background. Eager for financial independence, she accepts a position as a governess for an upper-class family. Agnes is initially charged with the Bloomfield children, who are unruly and slightly sadistic. The oldest boy, Tom, is particularly threatening, as he likes to capture and harm small animals. Agnes also engages with the extremely wealthy Murrays and their daughters, Matilda and Rosalie, who are in dire need of direction. Agnes attempts to navigate her growing responsibilities, while maintaining her morals and resilience. In Agnes Grey, Anne Brontë examines a common plight among working-class people. It offers a revealing look at the corruptive nature of wealth, and the moral differences between the haves and the have nots. It goes beyond the surface to expose an unflattering but honest reality. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Agnes Grey is both modern and readable.

Agnes Grey revolves around a family that becomes impoverished after a financial breakdown. The central character in the novel is Agnes Grey, who is determined to find work as a governess and help her family by working her way out. The storyline portrays the hurdles that Agnes faces because of the unmanageable Bloomfield children and again due to the apathy of the arrogant Murray family. This novel is a trenchant expose of the frequently isolated, intellectually stagnant and emotionally-starved conditions under which many governesses worked in the mid-19th century. This is a deeply personal novel written from the author's own experience and as such Agnes Grey has a power and poignancy which mark it out as a landmark work of literature dealing with the social and moral evolution of English society during the last century.
