AGNES GREY - WORDSWORTH

Sinopsis:

With a specially commissioned Introduction and Notes by Kathryn White, Assistant Curator Librarian of the Brontë Museum, Haworth, Yorkshire 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. BRONTE ANNE Anne Brontë 1820-1849 , escritora inglesa y la menor de las hermanas Brontë, fue autora de Agnes Grey y La inquilina de Wildfell Hall, novelas que abordaron con realismo temas como la opresión femenina y el alcoholismo. Trabajó como institutriz, experiencia que influyó en su obra. Su estilo sobrio y crítico contrastó con el romanticismo de sus hermanas. Murió de tuberculosis a los 29 años.
