Agnes Grey (Revised)
Agnes Grey (Revised) | Anne Bront
126 posts | 186 read | 138 to read
"Agnes Grey" is a trenchant expose of the frequently isolated, intellectually stagnant and emotionally starved conditions under which many governesses worked in the mid-nineteenth 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.

As we near the end of Middlemarch (finally) it‘s time to choose our next Austen-era book! Here are the 4 suggestions made by some of you, which also all come up when you #consultthegoogle about what to read after Middlemarch! Drop a comment below with your choice, and I will announce the winner before we finish Middlemarch. We will start on April 1. #pemberlittens

TheAromaofBooks Oh wow, literally all of these are on my TBR, so I would be excited to buddy read any of them!! I would never have gotten this far through Middlemarch without this gang of co-readers! 😂 4w

kwmg40 I'd read any of them but have a slight preference for Agnes Grey, as that's the only one I've not read already. 4w
Librarybelle My vote is for Agnes Grey, though any would be fine (Dickens on the bottom of the list…I‘m not a fan of him). I did read Tess years ago but would be fine rereading it! 4w

To be honest, the beginning was SLOW to me. I almost despaired of there being any story at all except her disappointments in the life of being a governess. But then Mr. Weston appeared. ❤️ And yeah I fell a bit in love with him too. 😊 I really related with her inner structure as she fought her growing feelings for him.

I think this book is vastly underrated. Don't be fooled by its small size, there is a lot of story here. I loved the style of writing. It felt more modern than many novels of that era. I also really enjoyed the story and the ending was very satisfying. As much as I liked her other book, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, this might be my new favorite. (Paired with a carmel rooiboo tea, a carmel tartlet and a coconut cookie bite. All were delicious. )

In this short novel Anne Brontë drew on her personal experiences as a governess. Her descriptions of the young people in her care (and their awful parents) are relatable 175 years later. The novel includes a cautionary tale and a love story. The plain but virtuous heroine, Agnes Grey, seems a bit of a precursor to her sister Charlotte‘s better known Jane Eyre. The narration here is straight forward, witty and a bit snarky, which I liked.

I enjoyed the last two chapters and overall an enjoyable read, a bit more simplistic in development in comparison to Jane Eyre. I enjoyed the lightness and pertness of the story overall, short like a Hemmingway and not overly descriptive as a Dickens, and more enjoyable than an Austin. I would place this at the top 50% of books read by yours truly. Jane still wins out at this point though in the Bronte competition of 2022. Happy reading everyone!

This is somewhere between a pick and a so-so for me. I liked it, but didn‘t love it. It was definitely interesting to see Anne draw on her personal experiences to write her first novel, and to watch her start to develop into the writer who would create The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. I also appreciate her sense of humor and sharp wit, which we don‘t see as much from either of her sisters.

The fact that this is so short for a Victorian novel did factor into my enjoyment. But only a little! Or like half, LOL. But I did really like this, Agnes is dry & kinda snarky, very relatable. Plot is straightforward & accessible, and we don‘t get a lot of walls of text. The kids she cares for are all awful (and speak in oddly formal ways, even for the time) so that was a bit tedious. But liked the look at class systems & the happy ending. 4/5 ⭐️

It is foolish to wish for beauty. Sensible people never either desire it for themselves or care about it in others. If the mind be but well cultivated, and the heart well disposed, no one ever cares for the exterior.

So said the teachers of our childhood; and so say we to the children of the present day. All very judicious and proper no doubt; but are such assertions supported by actual experience?

Based on her own experiences, Brontë depicts the isolation inherent in a governess's life, trapped between the classes.
People literally fail to see Agnes: doors are shut upon her and she takes pains not to walk beside anyone on the way to church to avoid unpleasant silences. Yet she is an educated woman and great observer who gives the reader insight in the issues of Victorian times.

It is said the story of Agnes Grey comes direct from Anne Bronte‘s experiences as a governess. It shows us the unappreciative treatment of women in the role, and the isolated lives they lived. The narrative is plain and direct, at times sounds bitter (to me), revealing the differences in social classes and the status of women during the era. I was entertained by its witty prose. The protagonist, Agnes👇

Not as good as Anne Brontë‘s other novel, but still solid and enjoyable to read. Agnes can sometimes be frustrating in her passivity, but I also realized that I have more in common with her than I do Jane Eyre (Catherine Earnshaw is in another class entirely) and so maybe this is just a little too real.

I love Anne Brontë and wish she had the opportunity to write more. 'Agnes Grey' is completely different from Wildfell Hall. Rather than being gothic and melodramatic; this one reads more like a Jane Austen novel. As always, I enjoy Anne's capture of reality in her novels. They speak so many truths that are relevant today. Great novel, easy to read. Not as good as Wildfell, but still wonderful. 4 out of 5.

Agnes Grey is a novel that had a lot of unrealised potential for me. parts of this are great. I loved the exploration of class: what it is to be rich, to be poor, and to be neither. The early section did nothing for me, but illustrate that Agnes is rubbish at being a governess. We just accept it, and her employers inexplicably seem to as well. Agnes was just a bit too clueless for me, although determined and strong in her dedication to her family.

Scrittura spettacolare, ogni parola affascina e spinge il lettore a riflettere sul significato dell'amore: quello sciocco, quello ambizioso, quello fallace e quello che vede protagonisti Agnes e il signor Weston, quello che non ha bisogno di soldi , di informazioni , di ruolo sociale o di vicinanza/lontanza perché quando giunge ti trova ovunque anche su un spiaggia e proprio quando avevi smesso di pensarci.

Grazie Anne Bronte per queste emozioni.
